The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
