John Georgiou:
I'm guessing white's homeboard is bottom right
Yes, it's a sure double.
As black with my back checker so effectively trapped, I'd not like to play on. Drop for me.
Wil Snellings:
small D/clear Take... often a long game with different turnaround angles, probably lightish net gammons
Dimitris Katsioulis:
Blue has a checker that is behind White's 5-prime and not at his edge, so he needs an average of 6 rolls to escape. As White I would wait, one or two rolls, to see how the situation will develop and then think about the action of the cube.
