1) Black is stuck and not going anywhere for awhile. I'm not seeing a raft of market losers so the decision to hold probably isn't too wrong, but I'd double here. Black has a take - a bit of equity from getting a shot and a bit from still being able to win going forward. D/T
2) I count 14 shakes that force a direct shot, otherwise White skates by to an easy race win. Clear double. Black may have enough hitting chances and racing chances to add up to a take. I'd probably drop this over the board, but I'll say it's a take here. D/T
3) With four(!) builders amied at the 5 point I count 17 rolls that POH. White is screw-ed if that happens, although the gammon isn't a lock. White's live cube take point is 21% here, and with the anchor on the three and the four point board he's close to having it. Not sure, but looks like a close take. Then applying Kit's law, it must be a double. D/T
4) The race lead and the ability to play behind the anchor makes it look like a double - the advanced anchor gives enough counterplay to take. D/T
5) White's going to crunch and perhaps leave another shot. White's take point is 20% and I'm not sure he has that. Black is behind and needs to make up for it by pushing the cube aggressively. There aren't too many gammons for black here, but since doubled gammons are so tasty at this match score black should go for it. D/P, but not so sure about the pass.
