As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
