Anyone else?

Double/take? Blue has the edge in the race and position, and threatens to make the 4 point or hit a fourth checker, or escape a back checker. But as Casper said, White has "considerable" counterplay -- he has a 4 point prime with 3 builder-attackers, he is facing only a 3 point board. Blue's devastating threats are few (making the 4 point and hitting with 6-4, and there's duplication there). And Blue even has a couple of really bad numbers -- 5-5, 5-4.

Compare, perhaps, to:

White	156
Blue	123
Position ID: cHeDAFjMvRkAJA Match ID: cAkAAAAAAAAA

White	156
Blue	131
Position ID: cHeDAFjMPWYAJA Match ID: cAkAAAAAAAAA

All I've done is move the two outfield points forward or back a point.
