1 closed out with 6 off and no gaps in home board is 32%. Ace pt gap makes it -7% so 25%. Is the contact pushing this below ca. 22% take point? I don't think so. One thing is how often does Blue pick up the 2nd checker, but the other thing to keep in mind is that Blue will often end up with considerably worse-than-perfect distribution 1 checker close out while trying to do so.
