1. I double and take. I think this is a clear take because of the 4 checkers black has back and the excellent spare distribution of white, but also expect a lot of people to drop, so a must double in a practical sense. Also technically a double, I'd say.

2. 8/3 8/2. Give as little as possible, and build another home board point for retaliation purposes when hit.

3. Double and take in practice, against XG maybe no double. Being behind in the race, your advantage comes from blocking and attacking when opp is squeezed on the anchor. The advantages are quite static at the moment, and it is unlikely that you will dramatically improve your position over the next few rolls or so, so perhaps this is technically a proper non cube to avoid losing doubled points on 66 (for instance) during the few coming rolls. Against a carbon-based opponent I'd cube because I am not sure the cube will be taken.

4. 13/7* 13/11, but I am wondering about 14/8 24/22 which may be better. Or 13/7* 24/22. Difficult, but 13/7* 13/11 is what I'd play OTB.

5. B/24 13/9*. I want to play against two checker back, and besides, I cannot see anything that is really constructive in case you'd not hit.

6. Double and drop. The race, combined with some threats, is too much too overcome. Pity given the strong board.
