The double is clear. What about the take? Looks like white has some work to do and has a bit of momentary awkwardness. But that awkwardness happens to be at the same time as blue's awkwardness (6's in particular) and any shots left is very double edged with a bunch of likely returns and possible second checker back getting blitzed. And if white misses the slotted bar, it is lights out. In the end, white has a 9 pip racing lead, and blue will be fortunate to make this into a race or will die trying. The contact solidly favors white here in my opinion. More likely, the prime will be strengthened and there is substantial gammon risk with a big match lead. So I think it is borderline D/T on race alone, but then add in all of the G's. Let it go.

D/P
