237: 7/1 looks good, based upon many similar positions I've seen posted here and at GammonU.

238: 8/4, 7/5. Who's afraid of THAT board?

239A: This is a classic lesson where you're taught to give up the 5-point so you don't have to leave a blot with an upcoming 5. I don't recall that being overturned in the bot era so I'll go with 5/1, 4/3.

239B: 3-2 on your highest two points is poison. Forget the lesson in 239A (for the moment; i.e. don't misapply it) and get off the 6-point. 6/2, 3/2.
