As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
