As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
