As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
