In Response To: Woolsey's law (Matt Cohn-Geier)

Here is a position which meets my criteria. White gives up .03 by passing instead of taking. Blue gives up at least .26 by doubling, no matter what White does.

This can be extended to other cases, not just ridiculously lopsided positions where White has two on the bar. E.g.: what about -3, -8, when -3 is holding a 2-cube?

The score (after 0 games) is: White 3, Blue 5 (match to 7 points)

Move number 9: Blue on roll, cube decision?

White	169
Blue	127
Position ID: 4HPwAWAzrloAJA Match ID: cAngADAAKAAA

• Blue doubles

Alert: wrong double ( -0.2970)!

Cube decision
2-ply cubeless equity		+1.6934	(Money: +1.2672)
	0.8141 0.6561 0.0173 - 0.1859 0.0337 0.0008
Cubeful equities:
1.	No double	+1.2643
2.	Double, pass	+1.0000	-0.2643
3.	Double, take	+0.9673	-0.2970
Proper cube action:		Too good to double, take
