Holding Game Cube

Something here which I dont think anyone else has mentioned - the 4 away score for blue here is very important. There are scenarios where blue slows down, white speeds up, and is forced off the anchor, which generates match winning gammons. There's also whites problem of waiting out a shot - which can often result in pick n passes when he's eventually forced off the anchor - again an increase in match winning gammons. This is a relatively interesting position in that it contains alot of the pieces that make blue go chasing gammons, without offering up too much risk.

I think that blue here has opportunities to benefit greatly from increased volatility, without too much risk. This position may turn around pretty quick in white's favor, but without that including a 44 or 55, then white has distinct risk.

At score, I say D/T, for money, I would say ND/T.
