As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
