The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while 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 requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
