As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
