The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often employed when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 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 use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
