This is a pretty efficient cube, in the sense that it's aclose tough decision.
We're ahead in the race and have a nice blockade against his men on the ace point. However, we've gotten too far out in front and our board may crunch soon.
We're pretty much forced to abandon our anchor as soon as we can and when we do we're subject to a withering attack on two blots leading to a very gammonish position. And if we don't abandon the anchor right away, our blockade evaporates and we're playing a poorly timed ace point game..
Lot's of gammons and I'd hate to lose the match this quickly, so I'm going to pass.

Option 1: Take

Very close indeed. But taking into account that we have 2 men almost killed on our duece point and a bad timing, I think we don't have enough chances to survive this prime-vs-prime battle. Pass
