As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
