In Response To: More Vegas Cubes (Stick)

Speaking for myself, I didn't post because I find this a very tough decision (based upon the score). On the plus side, if Blue can make an advanced anchor (most likely the 21-point) then he's in good shape because of White's deserted outfield. That assumes he doesn't get too many checkers sent back. If he can't make the advanced anchor he's in a world of hurt. $-play this seems like a fairly easy Take to me but here not only are gammons losses extra bad but the recube vig is considerably diminished. Blue's homeboard works both ways -- there are some very bad sequences but the potential energy there can work nicely.

I'm going to say 'Take' because of White's current checker location. If White were just a tad better placed I would pass.
