As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
