As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
