The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
