You've thrown a 66 but barely have a money double based on race alone if there were no contact. Granted -3, -3 you can double early. So the question comes down to who does the contact favor? I see 6 numbers that cause yellow to leave a direct shot. There are 10 numbers that hit and make the 5 point and 12 other numbers that make other points or the 2 point on black's head. With 10 checkers in the zone and no black development, there is some blitz potential as well. That said, it does seem that yellow has lots of work to do and the contact still favors black. But it also seems that there are some big market losers and nothing can go wrong too badly in the short term. So given the solid winning chances from race alone, and the volatility of the position, it seems that this is a reasonable cube at this particular match score, particularly against any strong player. Interesting analysis because I generally don't consider cubing with such little development.
