As early as on the third move of the game, we sometimes face critical checker play decisions.                             When playing backgammon, it is vital to look ahead and try to form a plan.                             Having a general idea of what we are trying to do will often lead us to a play which might not                             otherwise have been found if we are just shoving checkers around the board.                             Understanding early checker plays help us make a decent game plan.
