As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he at all attempts 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 assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means 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 tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
