As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
