In Response To: The Doubling Cube (Phil Simborg)

I have used the cube for Chess, and I believe many chess players have. The way it works is the player that takes the cube wins if he gets a draw. That really forces the doubling player to make sure he can win from the doubling position. On the other hand, the cube helps by stopping the player with a lost position from playing-out a game just trying to get it into a time scramble, or just waiting for a big mistake from the opponent.
