As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
