As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
