One checker play on each side, No Double / Beaver


Blue wins the (non-doublet) opening roll and makes a point. White rolls a non-doublet and leaves a double direct shot on his own side of the board. With Blue back on roll, the correct cube action is No Double / Beaver, according to XGR++ evaluation.

What is Blue's play, and what is White's play?

SOLUTION

Congratulations to Justin Nowell, John O'Hagan, Bob Koca, Brian Lonergan, Joseph Russell, Casper, and David Rockwell, for solving the Beaver mystery!

The diagram below encapsulates the solution.
