Match Play 0-0 to 9. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

A classic middle game double. Red has enough of an advantage to turn the cube and there is sufficient volatility to warrant a double.

White’s strong home board and the gaps on Red’s bar-pt and 5-pt give him a comfortable take.
