Problem 1. White has done nothing positive while getting three checkers sent back (from the midpoint). Blue has made his 5-point and his best anchor while treading water with his own pip count. Maybe another joy ride on the pendulum for me, but... D+P

Problem 2. Penalizing Blue for the open 6-point, the stack on the acepoint and one less checker off makes this more like 45 to 49 which to Kleinman is about 72.5% and an initial double. D+T

Problem 3. Blue needs to grow some fins before venturing into shark infested waters. 3(2)

Problem 4. With White's better homeboard and already an extra checker back, it looks like hitting inflicts more pain on Blue. 20(2)

Problem 5. White should relish getting a chance to go after that checker on Blue's acepoint. Blue has his race blinders on and smoothing out the homeboard looks like the racing play. 6/4, 3/2
