1. I think the bot play of 63 after an opening 62R is $ (13/4). However, here we've escaped a checker already so I think $ risks too much for not enough gain. The candidates I'd consider are R (24/15) and Z (24/21 13/7). I don't think that your play of S (24/18 13/10) is the right idea; it gives White too many ways to equalize. My instinct is to Pottle with R but it does give White a lot of return shots and does nothing to unstack our midpoint, so I won't be surprised if Z is better.

2. I would have played 16/13 6/4 as your opponent did. 16/11 might be better though, since some of Blue's 4's play well elsewhere.

3. I'd go for the attack with 13/7 6/1*.
