In Response To: Redoubling Decision at -8-4 (Paul Weaver)

The match equity at 6a4a isn't quite the same as the match equity at 3a2a, but in many ways the leader's take decision here is similar to the leader's take decision of an initial cube offer at 4a2a. That is, the trailer should double very aggressively in a gammonish position and the leader should be quick to drop. Black's two rear checkers are disconnected from the rest of his army and are a serious liability. It's possible that I'm underestimating Black's chances here but I would pass.
