1. A deuce-point game normally isn't worth much, but here Blue still holds a bar-point anchor. Despite White's blotty board, I don't think Blue is going to run off his anchor this turn with most rolls. So I think this is a take. I'm not even totally sure it's a double but it probably is. D/T.

2. Let's try and start with the assumption that three points to clear in front of a well-timed backgame is D/T for money. Blue still has a straggler but he's a big favorite to swing it around to safety, possibly hitting another checker or two in the process. White's backgame isn't well-timed. She loses a lot of gammons here. In her favor are: the possibility of entering on Blue's 1pt, and the score. It still looks pretty bleak for White to me. D/P.

3. 23/14 looks natural. I'm having trouble finding another candidate. 13/4 maybe? Or hitting? Don't see it. 23/14.
