As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she at all tries to escape 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 assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
