We're slightly ahead in the pipcount, but the position looks about even, as does the threats.  That's one out of three, and normally you need an advantage in two out of three (position, race, threats) to double. Just not enough of an advantage. No Double.

44 and fan is a market loser, but I'll be able to live with myself if it happens and we see in retrospect that we should have doubled.

:wacko: :wacko:All I can say is that I am glad Zorba is here...I had no idea that RKB's 24-22 was secret code for bar-23  :laugh: :laugh:

Anyhoo - seeing RKBs move played, it looks better than it sounded  ;)

Spoiler
With regard to our cube, no thanks for me - we just don't have anything going on. Whilst I am not averse to cubing from the bar if the circumstances are right - I cant see what we have here to call the circumstances nice, let alone right for cubing!  The single change of rolling a 44 is not enough to tempt me either  ;)

If ever there was a decision calling for a "next" this is it.
