As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
