As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
