Hmmmm...very tough and I'm not sure how good a bot RO is. I'd really not trust much less than XG 4 ply and noting that you have an overclocked i7.

I am keeping the 2 pt no matter what in these problems first of all.

1) Tough play. 10/4 with 11/6 or similar runs the slight risk of getting to front loads and you'll hate it if the 11 pt is covered and you roll 44. Running 18/13 18/12 may be a bit better but runs some slight risk of the oufield blots getting picked up and then having problems with the bar pt made. But that is a long parley and White will have issues clearing that likely close to stripped position. I don't mind getting hit here, of course.

Slight pref to 18/13 18/12

2) Yuck another 65. I am keeping the 2 pt even though other plays run some risk of ending up blocked. I think 10/4 18/13 looks more likely to crash somewhat than does 18/13 18/12x so I make the same play as in problem 1.

3) I'd like to remake the 2 pt if possible and not get seriously attacked on it. I think 9/4x may be a bit better than 20/15 even though there's a slight risk of crashing (once again all these distant crash possibilities are mini-crashed only missplacing a checker or two unless a serious of truly awful dice are rolled)

4)I'd just hit. It probably won't work to go forward and only buys some time, but I think it loses fewer G's.
