The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
