The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two

Posted in Backgammon on 08/02/2017 08:25 am by Jillian

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
