The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
