Problem 1 If Blue runs, I expect White to hit whenever possible (17/36), regardless of his resulting homeboard position. {51, 42, 66, 65} (seven total) leave a double return. {61, 33} (three more) leave at most a couple indirects while making a five point board. {62, 63, 22} (five additional) make the five point board leaving a single direct. 64 hits and lifts, resulting in 13 total shots and a four point homeboard.

A few side issues: 1) Blue doesn't have a full prime, which would make running more comfy. 2) White isn't likely to improve his homeboard on this roll (which argues for Blue sitting tight). Finally, I don't think Blue has a double on his next roll no matter what happens between now and then. Weight of arguments seems to be applying pressure for holding the point. 7/1, 6/3

Problem 2 PRaT is 2.5/3. Four checkers back is a lot so I figure White has a take. Not many in zone. Still, White has done nothing except go backwards since the opening tip. D+T

Problem 3 Holding game is plan B. 4-point is nice and I just mentioned few in the zone but three on the bar is hard to pass up. Last I looked White didn't have much of a board to be concerned with.... 10/8*/2*
