As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, 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 play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
