The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
