The Essential Facts of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
