The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move 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 technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
