In Response To: Race and contact (Philippe Michel)

"All in all, White's deficit looks thin. Trice suggests the point of last take is the number of rolls (10 here) minus 3 and the redouble one less. I think Blue leads by less than 6, so No Double."

That rule was for a contactless pips vs. rolls race. The contact and being on the bar makes things a lot more volatile than a normal race. For example the bad sequences for white (fanning) are worse than a 12 in a race, but the best rolls (hitting or big doubles) are better. This dispersion of good and bad is overall beneficial for the trailer.
