Glad to see the DQ picking up some action finally!

1. I think we just have to roll the prime. 8/7 6/4* 5/4. I've run into a couple of these sorts of decisions recently where there seem to be several alternatives, but the pure prime-rolling play, making points in order and putting spares where they belong, usually seems to be best.

2. I so want to split because White has an advanced anchor and we're still on the 24pt. But the 5pt is calling my name. And how are we going to split anyway? 24/23 6/3? 24/21 6/5? 24/21 4/3? Probably 24/23 6/3 but it doesn't look great, putting another checker behind White's anchor. I make the 5pt, but without confidence.

3. Blue has 9 checkers in the zone and a significant race lead, and White has no development. White, however, should anchor pretty easily, and Blue has three checkers back. I think this is a clear take. Not sure about the double but race + threats looks enough. Plenty of market losers of course. D/T.
