Ace-point holding game cube, sort of

In Response To: Ace-point holding game cube, sort of (Timothy Chow)

Ace point games are usually passes, but here white's stronger board makes me think it must be a take. But what roll force blue to leave a direct shot? Any 6, 54, 51, and 43 if I counted right. That's 17 shot leaving rolls, of course white still needs to hit it so we're looking at about 1/6 to be hit. That on it's own is not enough to take, but the rest of the bear in will be problematic so the take seems sound.

With that many shot leaving rolls I'm not inclined to cube. I think I'd wait until I was starting the bearoff.
