The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
