Problem 1. I don't like giving White chances to run into the outfield. 8/4*/2*

Problem 2. Don't know what my OtB play would be. I used to think the bananas split was only right in desperation situations, but I've seen some lately that weren't so desperate. Still, it looks hard to rebuild the position. 24/20, 13/12 is gammonish, but it pressures opp, gets checkers into action (hopefully in a positive way), and at least I keep more board. 24/20, 13/12

Problem 3. Takepoint around 17-18%? PvP's are usually takes, right? :) Blue can win some gammons. I'll take the easy way out and wait a while. N+P

Problem 4. DMP'ish so I'm going to get in position to make a run for it. 24/22 and then which ace? There is some duplication of 3's if Blue stays on the 3-point, but not many and being up one more step looks like it more than compensates. 24/21

Problem 5. Do I have bananas splits on the brain? 6/1 is the only candidate play that doesn't leave a double shot, and it leaves no shots. Looking at White's next roll if Blue plays safe, it's not necessarily comfortable. I hate burying checkers when there is a lot of play left, but sometimes it's right. This time? 6/1
