As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. 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 challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
