The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
