As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two 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 checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
