As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two 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 checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
