The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
