Problem 1. Beige has awkward rolls, but even getting hit doesn't make Brown the favorite, I don't think. Based upon similar problems you've posted recently, I think it's a pass. D+P.

Problem 2. Hit zero, one, or two? "If it looks close..." 5(2).

Problem 3. I count 2 blotting rolls and 11 clearing or near-clearing rolls. Otherwise 'reset', sort of. With virtually no racing chances (without hitting), I think Brown has to pass. D+P.

Problem 4. I think Beige has enough time to make the 4-point. 6-3 and 6-5 blot this turn, but Beige still has a blot in his board which doesn't always get covered. Looks like a pass to me. D+P.

Problem 5. Making the 18-point looks like a must if you want to win this game. After that you're effectively forced to leave the back checker to fend for itself and make a homeside point. 8/4(2) looks too stripped, and 13/9(2) is thematic in that it allows the 18-point to do its job. 22/18(2), 13/9(2).
