In problem 2, I agree that you might get a wild and crazy backgame out of the double hit that a bot might not play correctly, but humanly speaking, that seems to be the wrong idea. What are you hoping for? A blitz? You don't have the ammunition for a blitz. White will enter easily, probably sending more of your checkers back in the process. So maybe you're hoping for a backgame? But you don't even have a second anchor yet. White needs only one good exchange to set up a solid prime that will screw up your timing.

To play a two-way game, you should have a solid defensive position set up already, which you don't here. Hitting twice gives a two-way game only in the negative sense (i.e., you're damned if you're hit, and damned if you aren't!).
