Actually if White recubes immediately he only needs 25% so the cube efficiency is at least 65% (and likely a bit higher). 70% cube efficiency is probably reasonable here, too. Maybe that problem from a while back is an anomoly. (The score was much worse for taker.)

I would estimate White can win ~30% here. Now it seems to me that the double is definitely premature. (Blue gets equity in a $-game for gammons which he won't likely be able to use here since 2-->4 is quite likely.)
