The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
