This is a borderline double. Blue needs to roll ace or a deuce quickly followed by a six. This gives plenty of single game wins for white for an easy take.

If you let just one blue checker see the light, it's a pass.

Give blue a little more breathing room and it's a huge double.

One more little step even without seeing the light and it's a pass.
