As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
