The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 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 use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
