As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to achieve 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 two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
