1) White has a nice prime and some serious gammon chances with a checker on the bar and all those blots hanging around. Ship it. Black's take decision is harder, but his four prime and the chance of anchoring give enough equity to take. D/T

2) Make the 5 point. I've been dinged over and over by gnu for being distracted by some shiny hitting play when I should just make the five. The five point is a permanent advantage that I'll have for the rest of the game, the hits are much more ephemeral.

3) Make the nine point. Block that runner in and watch as black's board crunches.

4) Hitting twice is tempting, but black has a nice blockade forming and white's board is not strong enough to justify two blots in the inner board. With bar/22 8/7, the runner see daylight while black's runner is now behind a four prime. I think I like that better.

5) Big race lead, great positional advantage for black. This can turn into an ace point game pretty easily. Clear double. With no board, two checkers stuck on the ace point, a man on the roof against a 3 point board, and 30 pips down I have a hard time taking this as white. With Jacoby in force, it can't be too good, so D/P .
