As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
