To be fair to Stick, he has stated his rule does not apply to positions with very few gammons. But, who would want to be fair to Stick?

For reference:

Stick's Rule at -3 -6 (or more): NEVER double.

Peever's Rule at -6 (or more) -3: ALWAYS double.

Two positions shown:

Position 1

	is shimohei score: 3 pip: 102 9 point match pip: 58 score: 6 is peever
XGID=-DE-baCB----A------abcbbb-:0:0:1:00:6:3:0:9:10
on roll, cube action?
