The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
Tuesday, 16. May 2017
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
