The Essential Facts of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
