Match Play. Red leads 7-5 to 11. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?


This is a powerhouse double at this score or for money. With three blots to shoot at and a fourth one in White’s home board, Red will win a lot of gammons. In fact, half of Red’s wins are gammons.

 

At this score a gammon with the cube on 2 will win the match for Red with perfect efficiency.

 

Even so, White has a take. His overall structure is sound and if he can make an anchor he will have good winning chances. Dropping Red’s double would be. a blunder by White.
