Match Play. Red leads 5-4 to 9. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
This problem illustrates very neatly the power of the score.
For money this double would be premature and a trivial take.
Because a doubled gammon wins the match with perfect efficiency for Red the double becomes clear. In fact, not doubling is now very nearly a blunder. Still an easy take for White of course.
Always remember to keep your eyes on the score!
