Here is my submission:

Cube currently centered at 1, capped at 2


 ' ' ' ' '2X1X3X '2X1O '

1O1O2X3O2X5O '4O2X ' '1X

Blue on roll


1) blue is on roll with the cube centered in a game with a 2 unit table stakes maximum.

Okay. Condition 1 satisfied/granted as stated in the captions of the diagram.

2) blue's win chance if the game is played out perfectly at DMP is greater than 50% and less than 75%.

Blue's chance of winning is 51.8% (according to Snowie eval). Condition 2 is satisfied.

3) cubing is a theoretical error.

And then explain why you think your position satisfies these requirements.

It appears the best Blue/White sequence is 66-42 played 14/2 8/2(2), 16/12 13/11 (say), after which Blue is only 60% or so -- not close to a cash. Hence, Blue cannot lose his market.

OTOH, Blue can roll the 55 nightmare, which makes him at best 29.7% (Snowie's eval). He would regret this sequence where he would like to have passed White's cube.

Did I properly understand your intent?
