1. 18/8 because we lead in the race, have a strong front position that is not easy to improve on, and 64 is a good roll to make your move with. 8/2 6/2 somehow leaves the spare on the midpoint in a weird position.

2. Double and take. The race gives the take here, plus that black may hit a return.

3. 10/2*. Attack with a stronger board and the possibility to pick up a second checker.

4. 24/15*. This seems to gain the most. Hitting the second checker is more difficult to accomplish than covering the blot, so let's hit a second one. This also makes it more difficult for black to pop back into the game.

5. 10/5(2) 8/3*(2) seems to be the best with Jacoby in effect. Cash unless Black enters on the 21 or 23. The normal play of 8/3*(2) 6/1*(2) which would be indicated with Jacoby seems to leave more rolls that allow black back into the game (all entering doubles).

6. B/21 8/4(2) 6/2. Builds a home-board point using the stack and does not leave an additional target to be hit against a stronger homeboard, with already some blots exposed.
