The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling 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/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
