Cube action?

In Response To: Cube action? (Stick)

Having recently looked at several one-checker-back blitzes because I found I was grossly undervaluing the chances of the blitzee, I now know that my gut instinct to drop these positions needs to be curbed somewhat.

In John's position I did note the duplication of 5's to escape and cover and would have judged D/T. In Stick's variant, the duplication is not there, but as partial compensation, Blue doesn't have a solid five-prime in place yet. Without Stick's hint, I would have also taken in Stick's variant, though more reluctantly. Stick's hint suggests that it's a clear drop.
