NO DOUBLE

Now if stog could have convinced you guys to run.....  I probally would have ventured for a double.  While forum's board is about to break...at this second it is realtively strong...Havent seen the voting results yet but this move seemed pretty straight forward.

I think I might have here, RKB has a strong position, with not much to go wrong - but nothing much to gain by keeping playing and risking the 'go wrong' moment.  I know I wouldn't take it, so maybe that factors in to the decision not to offer it.

Well if I knew that you were going to convince the forum to drop..I just might have doubled..I definately wasnt playing for an undoubled gammon.

I think double is very close but not quite. Only couple of our moves crashes complitely: 6-4, 6-5, 6-3 and possibly some doubles 3-3, 6-6. Anything else and I would still take later and roll 5-5.
