Blue on roll, cube action?

Double/Take

Blue has a timing advantage, plus an anchor. White has neither. If White rolls a 1, Blue may have the option to hit at the front of his prime. Otherwise, the first time White roll a 6, he will have to tear down part of his block. I think that is enough reason to offer an initial double.

Since he is ahead in the race, I think this is a take for White.
