As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used 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 (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
