As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
