As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
