In Response To: Pointless double? (Timothy Chow)

Looks like a nice pointless double. The large racing lead is an important factor here, often not sufficiently appreciated. There are are number of very good sequences, and in all variations Blue retains a big advantage because of the racing lead and number of checkers back.

The score also helps, white has less cube vig than normal.
