As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
