1. 8/2 seems clear and then it's a choice between 24/20 and 6/2. Our opponent has an advanced anchor and we're still on the 24pt, so I believe that splitting is the right idea. 24/20 8/2.

2. Looks like 24/20 8/2 was the OTB play in #1. 6/2 seems natural but the 2 is not so clear to me. When in doubt make the obvious play. 13/11.

3. White should be able to take easily, I think, because she will often be able to enter easily and play some kind of reasonably-timed holding game or backgame. However, the position is gammonish and the double also looks clear.
