As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently 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 plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
