As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not 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 Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
