As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
