The Essential Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 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 seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
