As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
