As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. 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 move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
