2021 - Position 171

XGID=-aBB-bBCC---c-C--aadab----:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10

Unlimited Games. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

His 46-pip lead gives Red the ability to double here but it is close as the position is non-volatile and Red has few market losers.

Of course, with Red’s somewhat awkward structure White has a trivial take. Dropping would be a huge blunder.

I know many would hold off doubling here and I wouldn’t criticise anybody for doing so.
