The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two 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 requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
