Wow. I totally missed that there was a match score here. Thought it was money play. (Thanks for pointing that out Neil).

Yes, ND is absolutely clear at this score, since it is still (even with the higher takepoint) a take. Not to mention that gammon wins for blue are worth so much more than usual undoubled, and worth nothing if white reships to 4 which he will do with almost any excuse.
