The Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
