The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
