Holding Game Cube

I wouldn't call this a holding-game cube because a sizable fraction of White's chances consist in her potential to contain Blue's straggler. In a sense, White has already hit a shot. So I call it a straggler versus anchor position. Since there are good chances that it will convert into a holding game, it's important to understand holding games in order to understand this position, but this position is not a holding game yet.

The race is bad, White has a third checker back, and Blue has a solid four-prime. However, I think that White's containment chances push her into take territory. It's almost a prime-versus-prime position. D/T for me.
