Match Play. Red trails 0-4 to 7. Should Red redouble? If redoubled, should White take?


In a money game if Red were to double then White would have a perfectly correct beaver.


Remarkably at this score White should drop Red’s redouble! The percentage of gammons won by Red is just sufficient to push this into drop territory. I was truly surprised to find that White’s five-point prime is not good enough to give him a take.
