Daily Quiz 11/11

1) Anchor, stronger board, opponent has no anchor and 1 checker on the bar => blitz! 13/5
2) Double holding game. I make a lot of mistakes in such positions, but I'll have a try. I need to keep connectivity, so the midpoint stays there. I don't like keeping the 11pt with the 5pt already made, and I don't like hitting on the ace with no direct cover, so I try to keep all the checkers in play with 11/7. If hit, checkers are recirculated.
3) Blue is only one point short of priming 4 checkers completely. He can't do so in the next roll, but can prepare to do it. If White doesn't roll a 5, the market is lost. Or is it already lost? Double/Take because it's still a 4pt anchor (so with low gammon risk) but I'm not so sure about the take.
