Match Play. Red leads 3-2 to 7. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?


For money this is a double and an easy take. At this score things are very different.


A doubled gammon gives Red the match with perfect efficiency and that turns this into a huge double (not doubling is a blunder and a massive pass. Taking is nearly a triple blunder.


Remember SPRaT = Score, Position, Race, Threat and S is likely to be the most important.
