The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
