Cube action?

In Response To: Cube action? (John O'Hagan)

Black's raw takepoint is deeper than usual (something like 19% AtS), but the cost of a gammom loss for black is higher than usual. With 12 checkers in the zone, a four point board, and a checker on the bar it looks pretty gammonish. Seems like a fairly clear pass.

Is it too good? Three outfield blots against a solid 3 point board and one checker needing a 4 to escape means it's not a lock by a long shot. I'm happy to cash this one.
