On white's side of the board 4s, 11,22,31,26 all hit. That's 17 numbers.

33 is also extremely strong.

32 also hits but can hardly be considered a strong number. But if white dances, then the 32 is also very powerful.

Thus, white can expect to be on the bar a lot more than your 16/36.

I don't think the cube is in question here. For me the real question is the take. I would not be surprised if this is a pass, considering that blue has all the advantages:

The race, a much better board, outfield control, tons of killer rolls, is threatening to win a G if any of the white blots are picked up.

While not an advantage, trailing in the match will also make blue's cubes more powerful and white's cube ownership will lose some value since the recubes will have a smallish window.

Bottomline for me: I am not sure but would be inclined to let this one go.
