Kudos to Stick and Neil! According to the XGR++ eval below, this is indeed a small d/t.

My general rule has been not to cube these sorts of positions when I am in a stripped and inflexible posture. Obviously, that needs a little tweaking.

Unfortunately, I accidentally evaluated the checker position before switching this to a cube decision, so I won’t be posting my checker play.
