#1 - Redouble-Pass

I can't seem to see sound possibility for White to take this cube at 8-level. Black has 21 way to put White's checker on the bar and don't worry too much. In cases where he misses, 18pt checker is likely to run on forced 5's and 6's so getting checkers home does not look hard.

#2 - Double-Pass

White is on the bar and Blacks' checkers don't have hard way to escape White's broken prime. Huge gammon loss potential if White takes..Pass is the only vital option.

#3 - 6-3* 22-21

I see three options:

a- @ (24-21 22-21) b- P (8-5 6-5) c- H (6-3* 22-21)

Position analysis:

White leads slightly in the race,that would argue for @, White has stronger board with opp's 1 man back, that would argue for H, P i don't like although 5pt is always nice, opp's single checker back needs to be attacked rather then primed. I like to activate one of the spare checkers from White's 6pt, might be too heavy. Therefore, I hit 6-3* 22-21.

#4- 22-15

I don't like to bother myself with this type of complex position, therefor I'd make it simple 22-15.

#5- Redouble-Pass

Again gammons matter. It looks scary for me to try to take this.
