From the halls of rec.games.backgammon

The position below is being discussed over on r.g.b. The main question is, is there any play that allows Blue to take White's upcoming cube? (White was playing on and her last roll was 21, played 13/12 13/11.)

I'm not going to roll this one out because I don't trust XG version 1 here. Perhaps someone with XG version 2 could roll it out and post the results in a day or so?
