The Essential Facts of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
