In Response To: 0-4/9 cube action (Daniel Murphy)

White's key advantages here are a small racing lead, single checker back threatening to escape and being the player on roll. Some gammon threat, but not huge. For money, I think I'd wait. Most of the typical sequences where white escapes and blue simply enters remain takes and the few monster numbers don't compensate for the poor sequences. Here however, white trails in the match significantly and blue will not be taking after a poor sequence if the gammon threat remains. So send it before that happens. But still lots of work to do for white.
