Advanced Backgammon #34

As I write, I have not yet read the posts of others. That leaves me unhindered to make any mistake I choose.

The take looks easy enough. In a non-contact race where the leader's pip count is 126, a 9-pip lead is not enough to double. 10-pips are needed for a minimal first double. Using 8-9-12%, the point of last take is 15 pips. The question, then, is whether 10 POH numbers tip the balance.

I'll guess not.

Mike
