How well do you read ? I mean reading and understanding a BG position both sides of the board and the overall picture. If you can calculate roll odds and understand timing OTB then this position is a doddle.

A brief chain of my thoughts.

The hit looks dangerous potential 42% chance of being hit back. About 8 secs to calculate and interestingly probably near to the GWC. In different circumstances such calculation method an aid to cube decisions.

What about no hit? White has great timing blues board will crunch, a simple tip toe through the tulips. A six roll could be bad for blue very soon. So you have a choice, surrender the game or take a 42% chance. This is the immediate state of affairs.I would hit
