1. The first three 5's look clear: bar/20 8/3*(2). Then there are three candidates for the 5: 20/15, 13/8, and 6/1*. 13/8 must surely be better than 20/15. My first instinct is that 6/1* is overreaching. However, White has a blot in her board, so maybe we can afford to leave a blot. I'm not sure but I'll go with my first instinct of 13/8. It puts a tenth checker in the zone so it still gives us good blitzing chances and a good double after a weak response from White.

2. 6/4 3/2*(2), putting White up against a four-point board, looks natural to me. Hitting twice leaves us with only a three-point board and gives White a chance to hit back. Not hitting at all looks too passive.

3. Even with a four-point lead in the match and no direct covers for the ace point, the double looks strong. Blue's indirect covers add up to about a single direct cover. I think White can take, though, because of her powerful recube vig. D/T.
