No double, take. It is easy to find escuses to double when you are down at the moment.

As a general rule, if you had the 4 point made this might be a double, but with only a 2 point board, it has to be an exception to be a double. The break off seems to be between 2 and 3 point boards. The only exception I see here is that you are blocked by a broken 4 prime. Unless you are sure you are going to get a pass, I would not double.

Even if a RO says so, btw. Because you have to deal with fear the rest of the game after you give away the cube in such positions... and the bot does not. It will get all of the equity out of this position it is entitled to. A human, any human, will not.

I also don't like gift wrapping cubes when I am behind. I want the guy to over protect his lead by passing a take. I don't think Rod is passing this one, there isn't much of a fear factor here.
