1. Blue has ten checkers in the zone, but no new home-board points. White has no development. Blue's back checkers have escaped to the bar. I'm not certain this is a take at 5a5a so I would double. Probably a take because of Blue's weak board.

2. Despite White's weak board, I think I'd play safe here with 13/6. It's tempting to try to build some structure but I'm hoping to at least make a point naturally first. If I can't, well, then I'll leave a blot somewhere next time, but I don't see any slotting plays here that are worth the risk.

3. This looks like ND/T to me even though White is on the bar. A 1-5 backgame isn't great but White's timing is still O.K., with a spare on her front anchor, and she may get a 2-5 backgame or a 1-2-5 backgame still.
