Interesting Chouette Position

I Take. Not sure about the redouble.

Blue has a checkerplay dilemma. They'd like to see White roll a non-escaping deuce to blot in the homeboard before hitting loose, but that does give White several escaping fives. Hitting loose immediately leads to an efficient R+T if White fans (but I don't think it's a big market loser -- which is why I'm not sure about the redouble). If White enters with a hitting deuce then the loss of the 8-point (if the loose hit led to that) is costly -- another argument for not hitting immediately, from the 8-point.

One of my rules is that if you're not sure about your upcoming checkerplay you should factor that (negatively) into your cube decision. This argues for No Redouble. Of course if it's really a Pass or your opp WILL pass then you definitely should double, which argues for turning the cube. (Related to Woolsey Doubling Rule, but not literally.)

N+T. Hit with a 4 but not with a 6 on the next roll.
