As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
