Six-primed #5

Problem 1: Blue to play 61

Since the other three moves leave a shot, 3/2 is my play. I am barely alive and hoping White rolls the prime-breaking 55 or never manages to escape from my ace point. Slotting the 4 point with 5/4 might be plausible if a checker from the deuce point is moved back to the six point which will give more chances of making a five-prime if missed.

Problem 2: Blue to play 31

Here I just play the mundane 6/2. There are still very faint winning chances. This will involve White entering with a 1 except 51 and 61 and then imploding his prime by failing to escape. The other option, 6/3, 2/1*, volunteers a shot with the idea of resolving the problem of leaving shots in the future as I dismantle my board.
