This is a double that I might miss OTB because it looks like "nothing is happening." However, if we visualize the variant where Yellow's back point is moved out into Black's outer board then it should be clear that Black's ace-point game is a huge, huge pass. Yellow has a definite race lead and a strong front position and if "nothing continues to happen," Black will be buried alive.

The take is more interesting. I think Black has enough chances to take. Yellow's position looks flexible but because Yellow's back checkers are somewhat blocked, some rolls like 63 62 52 41 and maybe some others are awkward and give Black a chance at a fly shot. Yellow's board is weak so Black still has some chances for advancing his anchor.
