1. 10/6 looks clear and then we could try to squeeze White off the back anchor with something like 8/6(2), forcing her to run with 5's. Since White's board is crunched, we still have a lock on the game even if we're hit. Alternatively, we can clear from the rear with 9/7(2), but that doesn't bear any more checkers in, and will probably win fewer gammons. Our gammon value is elevated ATS. I'll try 10/6 8/6(2).

2. 5/4* 5/3 should win more gammons than 3/off and it might lose more games but it's hard for White to win here even if she hits back. I'll try 5/4* 5/3.

3. Blue's four-point board is gammonish enough for me to double at 7a3a. I think White should be able to take because Blue doesn't have that many immediate hitting rolls and White's structure is reasonably sound. Less confident of the take than the double, but D/T is my vote.
