As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
