Disengage or stay back for contact?

I'd play 21/5 in the 1st. This forces White to either dump checkers deep in their board or leave indirect/direct shots with lots of numbers. You will be ahead by 12 if you run 21/13 (2) but you'll be even in outfield crossovers. I think you'll be a bigger fav if you play 21/5.

16/6(2) in the 2nd. You'll have 3 fewer outfield crossovers after this play and White has a few deep spares in their HB so your racing chances are better than what the raw pip counts suggest.

18/8 18/13(2) in the 3rd. You're probably a slight dog after any play but this looks like your best chance.

Good problems!
