In Response To: Take or pass? (RealNick)

This is a wacky position to my eyes. It's hard for me to judge how the unusual configuration of checkers might change one's assessment of the position. I'd guess it's a take since it's hard for the opponent to make another home-board point quickly, and even though our board is not so great (with two checkers on the ace point), we do have three points and no additional blots lying around. Also, despite our apparently inflexible structure, it seems that none of our entering numbers force us to expose more blots right away.
