As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
