As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
