As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
