1. With an even race and White at the edge of Blue's prime, I think this should be a take, though White's awkward stacks make me uncertain. D/T.

2. 24/20 13/11 looks clear and I don't think the score makes much difference.

3. Oh to be a bot and have no fear of playing on! Surely White can't take ATS; I would probably cash this but I suspect it's actually TG/P.

4. Despite White's three-point board, I think she has to be fairly lucky just to get into a bar-point holding game with inferior chances. I pass if doubled and again I'm not sure if this is TG. D/P but I have been dinged hard in the past for not playing on in what seem like similar positions.

5. Despite White's inferior structure, this still looks like a clear take to me. Blue still has two checkers back on the 24pt and White has a checker poised to leap the prime. Blue seems to have enough positional advantage and threats to double. D/T.
