As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
