In Response To: MCG vs. XG (Matt Cohn-Geier)

If I am blue, I consider this a reasonably easy cube (reasonably strong position). The question for me is whether there is a pass/take. Blue doesn't have a full prime, 6's still allow white to escape (and some minor race chances) and blue still has a chance to leave a shot. White will likely be building his home board as blue is trying to get safely home. If white gets a hit, I think there is a reasonable chance for some containment. I like cube/take.

If blue had a blot on the 9pt instead of the 11pt I might be more inclined to drop (as white) with the prospect of an early 5pt prime but until that 9pt is made I could probably make a case that white still has a take (I'd be scared to take personally - even though there are good chances he won't cover on his roll)
