The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you’re 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 plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
