The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2

[ English ]

As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
