As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is often utilized 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 piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
