As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
