#1 - Double/Take - Blue is ahead in the race, has a stronger position (with both bar points) and some good threats (white has no home board deterrent & a blot, blue has ammunition to hit with and the 18 point anchor). The only that saves this as a take is the blot on the 3 spot and the 18 point anchor which will have to eventually be cleared.

#2 - Bar/20*, 6/3* - Hitting on the 3 point seems a must to reduce the chances of white making a second anchor. I would hit twice because even though this is DMP it is still about winning. Hitting on the 20 point seems to make the most sense because it is the point I least want white to make. I am never sure on these early backgame positions so possibly one for the DQR?

#3 - 7/5, 6/5 - because it is the 5 point and there is no compelling reason not to.

#4 - No Double/take - I would take in a heartbeat - the gap in front of the anchor will always cause difficulty for blue. The question is whether this is a double. I would not double because there are simply not enough market losers here for me (42, 33?, 22?, 11?).

#5 - Double/pass - We have race, position (a stronger board, 15 point made) and threat (make 3 point, 5 point or bar point). Easy double ATS, seems like a drop ATS. I doubt this would even be a take for money.
