As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
