## Details
Despite [chance](randomness.md) playing some role, skill is highly important and there exist strategies and tactics that maximize once chance of winning -- for example a basic realization is that the different sums you may roll don't have the same probabilities, e.g. 8 can be achieved by 2 + 6 or 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, but 3 only as 2 + 1 -- one can account for this. The highest probability to take the enemy stone with one's own stone is when the stones are 6 places apart. Taking enemy stone while having own stones stacked in all places in enemy home board makes opponent unable to play (he is required to return the stone to play but there is no number that can do it for him). There is also some opening theory.
