Unlimited Games. Should Blue Double? If doubled, should White take?

Every so often I include a standard reference position.

You should know that Blue can double when he is 20 pips or more ahead. White can take until he is 40 pips behind. If Blue does not have his 9-pt then White can take up to 50 pips behind. This type of position is included in Kit Woolsey’s “Backgammon Encyclopaedia – Volume 1”.
