As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
