1. Blue won the opening roll and made a home point, even if a bad one. White didn't get a formidable reply like 31 or 42 or 61. Easy free drop. D/P
2. Difficult 2nd roll move, I only know that splitting against stacked 6pt and 8pt is wrong. K was my move (even if it unstacks the wrong point) before looking up the solution and saying D
3. Almost a 6-roll position for Blue = 42 EPC; "nice-position" wastage for White (7 for 15 checkers in play, I would say 5 for 9 checkers in play) so White = 47 EPC. TP = (50-37)/(84-37) = 13/47 = 28%. I would say a borderline take. R/T
4. 0 vs 3 checkers back; better points made in the home board; possibility of semi-blitzing but also priming; big race advantage. It's a drop. The only reason why I don't consider it too good is that White has the possibility of upgrading to a 5pt anchor, which would probably make it a take. D/P
5. The ace is 8/7*, of course. The five can be 6/1* or 13/8, there is no other choice. 13/8 replenishes the stripped 8pt and is slightly less risky, which is good AtS. 13/7*
