1. This reminds me a bit of a position posted by Max Urban a couple of years ago. There are many differences, of course, but I would still try hitting here. 13/3*.

2. Blue has 16 dancing rolls, and White will enter about 1/3 of the time after that. She'll have a powerful advantage then but still won't be gin. Let's give her 5 wins in 36 for these variations. Now suppose Blue enters and White rolls a 6. Then the game seems about level, with maybe Blue having a slight advantage in most variations. That seems like only about 3 wins in 36. Plus White is in danger of losing a gammon. I pass as White. But Blue surely can't be TG when on the bar against a four-point board. D/P.

3. There seems to be no hurry to anchor here. I think it's a choice between the 4pt and the 5pt. Usually it's better to make the 5pt, but that leaves us with spares on only one point. Plus, after we make the 4pt, White's 4's are somewhat duplicated to escape and make her bar. I think it's probably close but I make the 4pt.
