In Response To: Gerard's paradox + position variant (Carlo Melzi)

DT does not need to be a possibility. Take the following for example:

Match to 4 points - White 0, Black 2

White3

3X ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

 '1O '1O ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Black6
Position ID: EgAAOAAAAAAAAA Match ID: MAGAAAAAEAAA

• White doubles

White has a correct double while an underdog and outside the market window. If White does not double and does not roll a double, correct cube action is double, pass.

These situations arise when your opponent has next turn an efficient in-cube, an efficient out-cube, or a cube that snuffs out significant remaining winning chances.

To illustrate the latter point:

Match to 4 points - White 0, Black 2

White6

 ' '2X ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

 '2O ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Black4
Position ID: BgAAYAAAAAAAAA Match ID: MAGFAAAAEAAE

• White doubles

If White fails to double and fails to roll a double, Black's double out is not particularly efficient (a 0.4 error to take), yet the diagrammed position is a double outside of the window.
