Great positions!

One of the first things that I would do to understand the original position and Variant A better is to give Blue the cube. This way you can separate out the effect of the cube from other features of the position.

The blitz-versus-prime issue is, I believe, a key point not just in Variants B and C but in the original position and Variant A. In the original position, White's 1's are duplicated to make the bar and the 3pt so the blitz/prime balance shifts towards the blitz. Running tends to be more urgent if the opponent has a prime.
