1. White has a strong board but Blue has both priming and blitzing equity. I would drop this one, especially leading in the match by 5 points.

2. This is a kind of position that I'm trying to work on understanding better because I tend to overestimate the defender's chances. Previously I would have taken without hestitation but now I'm less sure. Still, Blue has a dead checker, and his home-board spares are awkwardly stacked up. And of course, White has a five-point board with a Blue checker caught behind it. D/T is my guess.

3. White has two on the bar, but Blue has only nine checkers in the zone and only two home-board points made. The race is even and White does have a three-point board, albeit a relatively poor one. D/T.
