As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
