As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
