Position 1: Only three legal plays here, and breaking anchor doesn't look like it could possibly be right. We'd prefer not to get another checker sent back but the remaining two plays both leave a double shot. I prefer 13/7 since it retains some chances of counterpriming and doesn't put another checker potentially out of play. Bar/21 13/7.

Position 2: One thing I've learned about priming games like this is that it's important to leap checkers out when you can, so I think 21/16 is mandatory. Counterpriming doesn't look feasible now that Black has anchored. Although 6/2 looks awkward, it's less likely to get another checker sent back. We don't have the timing for a backgame especially when the opponent's prime is already in place. 21/16 6/2.

Position 3: Again I think it's necessary to pop a check out with 21/15, and again I don't see that 8/4* accomplishes much. 21/11.

Position 4: The take seems too easy; I'd wait a roll. ND/T.
