2024 - Position 122

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.
