In Response To: Is TG/T possible at an even match score? (Timothy Chow)

What do you believe is the largest −x−x score whereby the player owning a 2-cube is too good to double and the other player has a take? (TG/T). Please include reasons and/or a rollout supporting your answer.

Hint: x is at least 6. (I posted a -6-6 example here.)

I will give my own answer in a couple/few days.
