Cube action, 2 on the bar

Closest point of reference for me is 52S-55A-F-C, which of course is D/P, taking being a whopper (but not a double whopper IIRC). Here White has an extra checker in the zone, and the 6pt and 5pt plus a blot in her home board rather than the 6pt, 3pt, and 1pt. White has another checker back, and Blue doesn't have an extra spare on the 8pt, making the race approximately even. Overall I think White will win fewer gammons here than after 52S-55A-F-C because of her weaker board and lack of race lead, but she may win more games because she has better priming chances. It looks good enough for Blue for me to take; even if it's a technical drop, I don't think it's by much. I don't think the score makes too much difference.
