"If white does not bear off immediately, looks like blue has 5 wins from doubles"

Oops. Bit of dislexia vision. Thought I saw 2 on the 2pt and 1 on the 1pt. Reverse that. So it is 6 winning doubles not 5. Add another 5/6 * 1/36 = 2.3% and we're somewhere in the 24.5% range to win. Seems pretty clear that recube equity will indeed push this to a money take.

Take at this score? Not a clue. In match play I'm always inclined to pass any close cube in a mindless position. So I'll take for money, but pass here.
