The live-cube take point is only 21%.

Maybe your definition of 'live-cube' is different than mine. Do you mean "perfectly efficient (re)cube"? That is, do you mean if Blue is able to recube to 4 at the exact cubeless Game Winning Chances (cGWC) such that it doesn't matter whether White takes or passes, then he can take with as little as 21% cGWC?

My quick mental calc says the "realistic cube takepoint" is about 24% cGWC. (I used 18%, 32%, and 60% as the MWC's relevant to Blue. I also assumed no gammons for either side which is shorting Blue a bit.)
