The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, 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 hit, or result a bad position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
