As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
