As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
