Recube against a few checkers off?!

I believe that the logic is something like this:

The score (after 0 games) is: White 0, Blue 0

Move number 3: White on roll, cube decision?

White25


' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

2O2O2O3O3O3O ' ' ' ' ' '

Blue57

Position ID: 2+4OAAAAAAABAA Match ID: MAEAAAAAAAAA

• White doubles

Cube decision
2-ply cubeless equity +0.8364
0.9182 0.0000 0.0000 - 0.0818 0.0000 0.0000
Cubeful equities:
1.Double, pass +1.0000
2.Double, take +1.6171 +0.6171
3.No double +1.0000 +0.0000
Proper cube action:Double, pass

White does just as well not doubling as doubling, but there is an argument that White should hold off until he reaches the last point of D/P, in which case Blue may err by taking. Of course, the problem is that White might also err by doubling too late.
