Blue's name "9 Point Match" is confusing...
1. 6/5*/1 looks practically forced since everything else leaves too many shots.
2. A technical decision where I haven't done the necessary memorization. I'll guess D/P.
3. Race, threats and position make this a clear double. Though Blue has only eight checkers in the zone, it doesn't look like an easy take, with White having three checkers back and Blue's rear checkers nearly escaped. Still, I'd be inclined to take this since there are still good holding game chances in addition to the chances of hitting one of White's blots right away; she may not be able to clean them up and we rate to enter easily.
4. I'd just swing around 21/11 consolidating and hoping to double next time.
5. This is the kind of late blitz position that I still have trouble with. My instinct is to pass against White's five-point board. However, White will have some difficulty completing a closeout because a loose hit and a return hit should get Blue back into the game, due to Blue's good front position, and White's relatively modest race lead. Still, I'm inclined to pass. D/P.
