The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
