As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
