The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
