As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
