The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in 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 difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
