The Essential Basics of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
