Unlimited Games. Should Red redouble? If redoubled, should White take?


A very volatile position and it should be clear that Red must double. Not doubling is very close to a blunder. The question is the take.


Things look bad for White, but he does have a broken prime on his own side of the board and the Red checkers on the 24-pt may have trouble escaping. Red cannot do everything at once and that is what gives White a comfortable take. White has plenty of different ways to win this game.


Dropping is as bad an error as not doubling as Red.
