Recube against a few checkers off?!

This is one of those positions where you are not meant to ship until you have some checkers off.

I suspect that at this point, white must pass any recube. However, the goal here is for blue to get to the recube window, so that white can take. So, technically ND / Pass. Give it a few shakes, lets see if white can somehow get into a taking position.

But, realistically, blue can cash now, or cash later, its a case of when he wants his 2 points - so, its a preference thing. I can never remember when white has a take (money at least, for reference), whether its 5, 6 or 7 checkers remaining. I suppose I should know this. Although I think I once read that its 5 plus the one at the back (no quantifiable evidence).

I look forward to some illuminating responses. What is the money take point for white here?
