If this is a solid Take then it's probably not a double due to the lack of market losers. Those are mostly (solely?) White's {11,31,33}.

Could this be a pass? White desperately needs to get at least 3 of her back checkers over to the other side of the river to make the 6- and 5-pts. And all that (or most of it anyway) needs to be down while Blue still has checkers to bring home with potential to leave shots.

Other scenarios include White getting more checkers sent back to make either 24- or 23-pt. Those are also doubled-edge since making those points requires the right rolls (from both sides), too.

As I think through this I'm leaning towards a close Take for White because of the precarious present situation and the massive construction project ahead.

D+T.
