Hello

Answer - Double/Take

To me the double is as much in question as the take. In fact I have no idea in this position.

I would take here because of the blot on blues homeboard and the lack of ammunition to cover it. In addition, blue has 4 back and white has a three point board. The position seems volatile and could sing towards white. I also have no idea whether this is a double and therefore it must be a double - reverse Woolsey's law.

I also have no idea whether this is take and would therefore double, especially against a human - Woolsey's law. White has two on the bar and a third maybe joining them shortly. The position is extremely gammonish and there are clearly market losers but how many? Is the third checker on the bar alone enough to lose the market?

This position also raises important theoretical questions - can I use both Woolsey's law and reverse Woolsey in the same problem? Does this mean that any position I am clueless in is a Double/Take?
