As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
