1. 15/11(2) for sure, and then I'm not sure about 13/9(2) versus 6/2*(2). Trailing slightly in the match with White about to improve her board I'll try the more aggressive 6/2*(2).

2. White has her 5pt made, our checkers on the opponent's side of the board are undeveloped, and White has a checker on our ace point. This should be an easy take. Our four-point board and race lead should make this a double I think. D/T.

3. 6/5 is the ace. If we were further behind in the race then keeping our back checkers split would be clear. Here it's not so clear to me. Usually if our opponent has stacks waiting to unload on us, we want to anchor, but here our stronger board means that White's attacking potential is weakened. If that's the case then maybe we want to stay split to increase our shot potential. We're leading 4a6a, and normally when leading we don't want gammonish positions, but 4-away is sometimes an exception because our doubled gammons are so powerful. I'll try 13/11 6/5 but without confidence.
