Daily Quiz 5/4

Problem 1. How can I possibly pass up the PoH on the best remaining point, frosted with adding the 3-point. Blots be damned. 5*(2), 3(2)

Problem 2. Making two points is impossible from the bar. Of the points available, the 4-point is nice but at this score, doing that and leaving three vulnerable checkers in opp's HB look too risky. 25/23, 24/18

Problem 3. So I disagreed with one of the bots -- not a good start. Three possible moves (that I see) and the safe one looks lame. Making the 5-point leaves three m/l vulnerable blots. When in doubt (the old fashioned one)...? 13/9*

Problem 4. I'm surprised either of you would put four checkers on the acepoint. Must have been forced. Hitting (PoH) looks like making a bad situation even worse. Does Blue really want to block opp's anchor here? I like doing two mediocre things. 8/6, 13/12(2)

Problem 5. A good sequence for Blue would be to make the 21-point. Given that White gets to roll before that, how will Blue feel next turn? And that was a good sequence. D+P
