I bet he sat there quiet as a churchmouse when those quad candlesticks appeared.

W-H doubling window is 50% --> 76%.

From every method I'm accustomed to using (Thorp, Ward, Ward+Kleinman, EPC) this looks like a solid Take. (With White winning in the 70-73% range.)

At $-play this doesn't look like a Redouble but here I think it is. And there is always the chance opp (yes, even Neil!) might either misjudge the position or go too far overboard adjusting for skill difference, particularly passing a Take when not wanting to put the match on the line with pure dice deciding the outcome.

I don't know how much the skill factor affects this. (50 point ELO diff.? Just a guess.) Still seems like a Take but that's without doing a Jacobs-Trice ME recalculation.

R+T.
