As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan 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 toss.
