WAY too good for White. Just roll and try to crush him to death with your prime. Wouldn't you feel stupid to lose this game? Also it would feel REALLY dumb to redouble, he takes out of desperation... (and because he has more than 9 to 10% equity with his own structure anyway)...

then he redoubles you and gets lucky to win the match???

In situations like this you make sure the BEST thing that can happen for him is he wins this game... and then you still lead 4-2. If things went crazy and he won a gammon it would be tied...

So you silently go about your business of destroying him on his own cube.

Even if you hit him and closed both checkers out and escaped one, he would still be reasonably close to a take...

Too good to double/ take.
