The Essential Details of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by building 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 tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
