Unlimited Games. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
Positions like this are deceptive and doubling opportunities are often missed. That is the case here where not doubling is a blunder. Red leads by twenty-five pips and has four hitting numbers (11%).
Four doubles will lose his market and if nothing happens this rolls he can build his home board and await developments.
Red wins two-thirds of the time from this position with 11% gammons. The double is very clear, as is the take, which is trivial.
