Would you double that?

I count the same number of market losers that you do (10), unless you count 42-fan and 32-fan, which are double-edged variations.

What you may not be taking into account is:

(a) The size of the market losers.
(b) The score (trailing 0-2 to 7).

Try changing (a) by moving White's extra spare back to her midpoint (covering the third blot). Or try changing (b) to a score of 0-0. In either case, it will be a smaller double.

If you change both (a) and (b), or if you change (b) twice (reverse the score), it may be no double at all.
