As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan 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 partially the outcome of the dice roll.
