As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
