Hmmm...

Neil may be right, Chuck.

Blue's 77-91 pip lead gets penalized 2 pips for the 2nd checker on the acepoint, 1 pip each for the extra checkers on the two point, and 1 pip each for the two gaps. White gets penalized 1 pip for the extra checker on the two point.

That gives us 83-92 instead of 77-91.

And then 1/7 of 83 is 12 (I round 11 and 6/7ths up to 12, not down to 11), and 83+12 is 95-, so we have 95-92, a a comfortable race take according to pip count (Keith count = redouble/take) -- IF (a big if) this were a no contact position, natch.

If we do round 11/ and 6/7ths down to 11 like Count Keith advises, then we get 94-92, a race take.

Speaking of younger days (and we'd better do it now, while we still misremember them), I never knew anyone who bought oregAno by the lid, but I do recall a young NYU student who once paid a Washington Square Park homeless guy premium price for some supermarket mushrooms. Maybe they were Oreganic.
