White is Player 2

score: 2
pip: 176
9 point match
pip: 99
score: 5

Blue is Player 1
XGID=--BBbdBCBB-B-----bbca---a-:0:0:1:00:5:2:0:9:10

Blue on roll, loses the game
after White makes only one checker play!


Neil Robins posted the position above as a cube problem. I have turned it into a little puzzle:

Blue is on roll (leading 5 to 2 in a 9-point match). With perfect cube play and checker play from both sides (according to XGR++ evaluation), Blue will get doubled or redoubled out after White has made only one checker play.

What is the move sequence?

Nack

P.S. Yes, that means Blue will have made two checker plays.
