1. Making the 2pt seems a little deep when we don't have much ammunition up front. The alternatives are 24/14 and 22/16 13/9. 22/16 13/9 seems like a more natural developing move.

2. Blue has 10 checkers in the zone and has escaped all his checkers, plus he's trailing in the match. What can we say in favor of White? The race is even and if White hits back then her three-point board will be an asset. But Blue rates to make a four-prime at least, and White's home-board points are a liability in a priming game. White's best chance is probably to play a holding game; since Blue has only a two-point board, she should be able to anchor most of the time. But there's no guarantee that it will be a good anchor. I'd pass here.

3. Hitting looks mandatory, and then it looks like a choice between 15/13 and 13/11. 13/11 is the blitzing move so that's what I'd play here.
