Standard Cube Opportunity

If blue wins it will involve rolling a prime forward so I'm skeptical of whatever XG, gnu, et al have to say about this.

27 rolls hit the blot on the bar-point, which sends a second checker back while slotting the full prime. Blue seems to win a lot if that happens. All the other shakes allow blue to hit on the ten point, gaining a tempo and most likely allowing him to restore his blockade before the hit checker re-encounters it.

White wins by somehow leaping the prime and winning the race. I don't have a good feel for how often that happens, but I'm thinking not very. If she can make an outfield point she might be able to hold it and eventually run past, but I wouldn't count on this as a likely game plan.

I'd pass this as white, and as there are very few gammons I'd ship it as blue.
