Just another cube decision

In Response To: Just another cube decision (Timothy Chow)

My analysis was admittedly thin because frankly I don't feel qualified to discuss these things in much detail. But with that caveat, I felt that the race was the key feature here and I'm not sure how a 19-point deficit would make this a take since it's about a 17% lead. Blue can certainly safety at least one of those blots this turn and with two blots in white's board an indirect hit, while not welcome, wouldn't be the end of the world. The 4 checkers on blue's 5-point do allow white plenty of timing so she won't crash her board but I just don't think there enough chances of blue leaving a shot to justify a take. What is meant by a "standard 5-point holding game"? And how does this differ?

By the way, Timothy, your rollouts and analyses of the daily quiz are much appreciated.
