As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss 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 objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
