The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
