Match Play. Red trails 3-6 to 11. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

A classic prime versus prime position. Red has a good advantage and is easily strong enough to double. Not doubling is. double blunder. White has plenty of play and has a very comfortable take. Dropping is very nearly a double blunder.

As we know nearly prime versus prime positions are doubles and take and this position is no exception, despite the score.
