The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, 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 employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
