As I understand it, you faced the position below on the next roll, and what happened OTB was double, pass.
This has to be a good double in practice against all but the best players since so many will drop. A more interesting question is what the technically correct cube action is. As I said, if you bring all of Blue's checkers into his home board then for money, it should be D/T. The fact that Blue's checkers are in the outfield is double-edged. It seriously hurts Blue's racing chances and increases his chances of getting gammoned. But it also makes it harder for White to escape because the outfield is better covered. I would guess that these factors cancel each other out and that it's still D/T, but I'm not at all sure. As for the score, it's close enough to normal that I doubt it will have much effect on the cube action.
The score (after 0 games) is: gnubg 7, sethmoney 6 (match to 15 points)
Move number 2: sethmoney on roll, cube decision?
