As Black Swan said, any net improvement coupled with an opening double 6 makes it a double. Here the only improvement that you've made is that your opponent has made negative improvement! You're shooting at a second blot (3rd if you count the guy on the ace point which you attack in some variations) and have an enormous lead in the race. 25% of your wins are gammons and I consider the position rather volatile. Notice the take isn't even a huge take though seemingly everyone scoops up this cube like they think it's early. Try to picture what happens after the next sequence ... whatever you're imagining isn't Blue's position quite sound? Huge double, unhappy take, one to remember.
