The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
