Match Play. Blue trails 0-6 to 9. Should Blue double? If doubled, should White take?
For money this would be no double/beaver but at 0-6 to 9 Blue can take huge liberties if he has a gammon threat. This is very much two-way gammon position so Blue is fully justified in doubling as the position is so volatile.
Even so, this is only just a double and obviously it is a trivial take for White.
Sometimes I look for interesting information, reviews, or expert commentary because someone drops a link in a group—they are genuinely engaging, but sometimes you read through an article and find such useful links neatly woven right inside the text. For example, I recently came across a great overview on platforms like https://www.politolog.net.ua/ and https://deribasovskaya.net/
