Cube after Blotfest?

Rich: I once saw Petko play this position as white and win a gammon

He has an advantage over many of us: he plays the checkers with demonic precision.

I think I take this as white (mostly because I think its a take), but because I can see blue struggling to really finish this off with a blitz. Also, on a more fun note, I would like to play it out as white - blue too if truth be told - prop anyone? Besides, for low enough stakes, you will struggle to find a position I will drop... The challenge is enough for me.

The double looks pretty clear. There are so many gammon winning opportunities for blue, its incredible. Massive blitzing power, and some great chances to perhaps chase a bg too.
