As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
