In Response To: early in the match. Cube actions? (Chuck Bower)

Hey Chuck, I am enjoying this rash of cubing problems. Brown's only difficulty is perhaps clearing the 16 point. However, the race lead, strong board, and checker distribution which can lead to an even better board justifies a cube.

Normally, I tend to be aggressive in accepting a questionable cube because I love to recube if I can turn it around. However, the pip deficit and a moderate gammon risk convince me to pass.
