As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
