You omitted the higonefive language: "Grunch."

Recently I've been learning that a variant of "Stick's rule" applies to leader recubes at 5a7a. Redoubling cripples Blue's gammon wins and so Blue is generally reluctant to send the cube back in a gammonish position. So I would not double here.

As for the take, the raw take point is close to that for money, but that doesn't tell the whole story and is even somewhat misleading, because the trailer has considerable recube power and doesn't need to worry too much about gammon losses. White's position looks precarious but she does still have a strong board and a race lead and has only one dead checker so far.

My guess is ND/T.
