RULE OF FOURS says cube a high-anchor holding game if four or fewer checkers are on the midpoint with the other runners escaped, and the pipcount indicates it would be a pass without contact. Take up to twice the point-of-last take.

Applying that here, it's D/P.

But ROF is not always right, and when there's a "stinger" (i.e. the ace point blot) for defense that may be a liability or an asset.

White's strong board, the stinger, and the blot on the ten might push it towards a take. Not sure, but I'd pass this one as white. D/P.
