1. I'd play 20/18*/13 here. I think our priority is to get our back checkers around safely. Allowing White to make her bar will hamper that. Sending another checker back does potentially improve White's timing for a backgame but White still has good potential to win going forwards and I think that we have to address that threat first.

2. I see that the OTB play was 13/7 10/7 and that does have merits, forming a four-prime to block White's back checkers. But again I think our priority is to bring our back checkers around if we can, so I'd strongly consider 20/17*/11 or 20/17* 20/14. Not at all sure about this one but I guess I'll try 20/17*/11.

3. I'd try 20/15 10/6 duplicating White's 3's.

Any of these would be good DQR candidates.
