As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
