In Response To: Understanding Backgammon Position #3 (kinchan)

Yesterday when falling asleep I thought about cube position. If we have access to the cube, as in the original position, then a favorable sequence after our play in the inner board allows us to cash the game. If white already owned the cube, we actually have to bring it home and then 16/11 might be best.
