As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move 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 tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
