As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
