It's also a good opportunity to laugh at me since I don't see this as an easy position. Blue will have trouble bearing in and off but will probably win a gammon if he wins at all. White has some GWC, probably enough to take, but loses a lot of gammons.

Seems to me that White could recube and kill gammons, but I'm not entirely sure about that, and maybe it's a pass. Or it could be TG.

The practical answer as Blue is to ship it and make it White's problem. As White, I'd just pass this and reset the board unless i was playing someone much better than me in which case I'd take and re-whip and hope my luck prevails.

I'll say RD/P, but really have no idea. Looking forward to seeing what others have to say.
