As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
