As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
