As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
