While there's still contact, it's worth looking at an adjusted pipcount, where using the ISight adjustments I get 97 to 111. Add 1/6 and subtract 2 to get 111 as the point of last take, so this would be a marginal take without the contact.

The question then becomes whether the contact helps or hurts white's position. There is some shot equity, which would push it into take territory, but white is also often stuck long enough that her board crunches and there's lots of wastage.

OTB, I'd probably just see a deuce point game and ship it without doing the above analysis. And I'll still ship it since I'm not sure about the take.

As for the take, the crunch factor seems to outweigh the shot equity, so I'll let this one go.

R/P. Fairly certain it's not TG, but since blue will have a cash next roll it's probably not a big error to hold.
