In Response To: Daily Quiz 6/3 (Stick)

Yesterday, I was reviewing some old Daily Quizzes. The position below is #5 from 3 June 2011. Everyone who posted voted for ND/T. The rollout indicated a clear double. Stick said that he was going to discuss this in a recap, but as far as I am aware, he never did.

So, why is this position a double? I'm guessing the reasoning is something like this: it's a money D/T, and Blue is not in much danger of getting gammoned, nor does he have strong gammon chances of his own, so the score doesn't affect the cube decision much.

Match to 9, Blue leads 6-5
Blue on roll. Cube action?

White	130
Blue	111
