In Response To: Cube from the bar (Leonardo Jerkovic)

The take hinges on whether Black can pull off something better than a backgame; as a backgame Black's timing is atrocious. Yellow has structural gaps and another blot sitting around. But a bad dance or an awkward roll by Black will lead to very high gammon danger. Once Yellow enters, I think Yellow can afford to hit loose on the 5pt unless Black's board has gotten a lot stronger in the meantime. I'd be inclined to drop here but I'm not sure.
