1) Position? check. Race? check. Threats? check. That's 3 for 3, which indicates D/P.

2) I don't like hitting loose on the ace with his three point board. White is behind in the race, so running a checker might not be the right idea, but white's not very far behind so it might make sense to vamoose. The most constructive thing I can see is to put a spare on the 8, so I'll do that. For the 3 I was looking at bringing another builder down, but that strips the midpoint so I'll move a runner up to the 20. 23/20 13/8.

3) White has the race in his favor, but the position favors black and the threat balance seems about even. I might cube here against a human figuring that it presents an opportunity for a bigger error on my opponent's part than whatever error the cube might be (if any), but against a bot I hold. Seems like a pretty clear take. ND/T.

4) Good grief! How did this happen? If black shakes a 1,2 or 5 then White is on the express train to gammon city. TG/P

5) My experience is that holding the 13 and 14 points is a liability since I seem to have a hard time clearing them. So I'll clear the 14 and hope he doesn't roll a 3. If I safety the blot on the 5 I leave as many shots but without slotting a valuable point. If I have to leave a shot, might as well put it where it does the most good when it's not hit. 14/8 14/13
