Bah, Steve Sax. I've played in exactly two live tournaments in my life, and Steve Sax knocked me out of both of them. Good enough guy, but that, combined with my car breaking down and stranding me at the tournament on both occasions (different cars, years apart, one of them new), didn't make for a fun baptism into tournament play. Anyway...

Blue's board deteriorates with 54 53 44 43 41 33 32 31 22 11 = 16 rolls, plus 66 leaves a direct shot. He escapes with all 6s, plus 52 and 42 = 15 rolls. Of those, 52 and 61 are particularly gammonish. I think White may be able to eek out a take, but I'm not sure. (White will often continue to dance even if Blue's board collapses, and White's open 5pt means Blue will often survive if things go badly on this exchange.) Nope, not so sure about the take, so it must be a double.
