I see you also gave yourself a healthy lead on the score sheet, very smart. I would miss it OTB, but now that you post these positions, I would double position 3. The rest I still do not double. Got to protect your score sheet lead!

The checkers on the 2 and 3 hurt the backgame prospects, but all checkers are still alive, and we are not that close yet to killing them. And Petko still has chances to win going forward or to convert to a holding game. In position 3, I can see you hitting and splitting Petko's position with an ugly sequence, so there I'd see a cube.

At 4-away 4-away more of these could be doubles.
