The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need 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 use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
