The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
