As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 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 because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
