As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
