The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two
As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
