As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
