Cube action?

In Response To: Cube action? (Daniel Murphy)

Board? Yes, I think White 1-point board + builders is enough here!

Hmmmm. Some people (well, me anyway) see a one-point board and think "weak" while others see 13 checkers in the zone and think "strong".

On the bar vs 13 checkers in the zone - once you put it that way black's chances seem much dimmer. That makes me question whether black should take. I'm much less certain that it is a take than I was before, but I'm still going to go with take. But since I'm not entirely sure, Kit's law would imply it's a double.

So I'm going to revise my verdict to D/T.
