Problem 1. Entering on the 20-point looks like suicide. If you were White, which play would you like to see Blue make? (Yeh, I'm taking.) 25/24, 13/8

Problem 2. Even an efficiency zealot like me would PoH with 6/2*(2). 13/9(2) is tempting, but I don't like sitting on the 18-point, and after 18/14, what else is there besides 14/10? Cube access says "avoiding getting hit is a good thing." 6/2*(2), 18/10

Problem 3. Am I supposed to be thinking about hitting loose here, at this score? 13/8, 13/11

Problem 4. IMO, there aren't many humans who will take this OtB in a real match, correct or not. That makes Blue's decision very easy most of the time. Between two bots as here, I get a takepoint in the 36% neighborhood, and this probably is above that. D+{T, if you're a bot}

Problem 5. Again, I think White wants Blue to leave the blot. The 5-point won't block anyone right now. White still needs to clear the 16-point. Scoreboard says save the gammon first, then go for the win. 17/13
