In Response To: backgame double (aoleg1)

I see no volatility in this position and am having trouble finding market losers (assuming the market is not already lost). Double 5s? So technically speaking this seems like either ND/T or D/P

In spite of white having made deep homeboard points, there are no checkers out of play, a ton of play left, multiple ways to win this game and blue has work to do. This looks like a pretty easy take.

That said, while I think this is a technical ND/T, there are enough defects in white's position that I think there is sufficient chance of getting a pass. So practically speaking I would double this.
