Good question! In these sorts of positions, White's enormous pip count lead typically counts for a lot. If White had a better spare distribution, I think this would be an easy take even ATS. As it stands, White exposes a second blot immediately if she rolls a 1 and then a 3 before a 6, and if Blue runs from the 23pt for example, then White will also blot if she rolls a 1 and then a 4 before a 6. Still, for money I think this is a take. Blue still has a lot of work to do, White hasn't exposed a second blot yet, and White has ample opportunities to squirm out of this. ATS I'm not sure. I'm thinking D/T but Blue's powerful board means that a good fraction of his wins will be gammons, so maybe taking is too optimistic.
