As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
