As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity 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 ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
