In Response To: Cube decision? (DC-Ohio)

This doesn't look like a cube, yet, at this score. Each side has a three point board. White has a big pipcount lead. I believe Blue is in more gammon trouble than White. Blue's threats aren't that big (volatility-wise) with little chance to make the 4-point next roll. Blue does have complete outfield control but that still isn't enough threat at this score, IMO.

When leading 3-away (and gammons still available) it's seldom right to cube until you've got a dominant position, and not necessarily then. I don't see it here.
