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

For money this would be a redouble and a take.


Interestingly because a double gammon gives Red more points than he needs to win the match XG advises holding the cube and playing for a gammon with the cube on 2.


Having said that, for practical purposes I would redouble this position because I know I will get a lot of drops precisely because of the gammon threat.
