1) D/T: with both 5 points made and 3 vs 5 checkers back, I would double; only 8 checkers in the zone (blitz) and only 3 points made (prime) make it a take.
2) D/T: Blue has some 8 pips more wastage than White, but I'm not sure, this is an area where I still need to improve a lot.
3) B: running to the 16pt is too dangerous against a stacked midpoint but moving the last checker up is not, as White's 8pt is stripped and White has only 8 checkers in the zone; the 3pt is not really the point we want to make, also because the midpoint would remain stacked.
P.S.: I would say "65R-31P-53-d" because it doesn't matter who turned the cube, it's just DMP.
4) B/16: the alternative is B/20 24/20 but hitting in the outfield against a stripped midpoint looks better because gives Blue a racing advantage and sends a 4th checker back, increasing gammon chances; at GS I would play @.
5) 13/12* 6/4 consolidates the race advantage and covers a home point. Hitting without covering is crazy and covering without hitting only gives White time to strengthen her board, and Blue still has 7 checkers to bring home safely. WDF of the day: what else are we supposed to play?
