As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
