Another Kauder Paradox

In Response To: Another Kauder Paradox (Albert Steg)

With three checkers on his midpoint, Blue is losing his fare share of gammons here. This is more likely to be a Kauder Paradox if Blue is given a stronger home board. Moving the two checkers on his 1pt back to his 3pt might do the trick.

Cubing in a Kauder Paradox position gains, perhaps, 100 to 200 millipoints of equity. Meanwhile, the cost of cubing a non-Kauder Paradox can be much higher. It is wise, therefore, to err on the side of caution.

Over the board, I would not cube in the OP, but I would beaver if I were in White's shoes.
