The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play 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 challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
