Twenty shots isn't usually enough (for a recube), but this is close to an ideal last-roll position. White's board is already closed, so hitting is nearly gin, and his occasional fluke loss will be partially compensated for by his even flukier gammon wins. If he misses, he's nearly dead in the race, and Blue can break contact with everything except 11. So giving Blue cube access costs very little.

White is hurt a bit by the match score. His doubling window opens a little above 50%. I expect this redouble would be correct for money.
