Compare it to Encyclopedia 2 - 15:

on roll, cube action?

eXtreme Gammon Version: 1.12

which rolled out to a borderline pass 1.01. The given position is up 23 pips which I think is slightly good for cuber and race is also longer which is also good giving more time to clear the midpoint and or make the 5 point. The 10 point has mixed value being a landing spot for the midpoint checkers but also a point to clear. There are no checkers yet behind the anchor meaning there will be safe dumping plays for a while. The 10 point has mixed value being a landing spot for the midpoint checkers but also a point to clear. Do those factors balance out the empty 5 point?

I'll guess small pass. Having the 4 anchor instead of the 5 hurts the racing chances too much especially since 66 is blocked and a lot of time for the 5 point to be made compensates enough for it not being owned already.
