Double, pass. In the match with GNUbg, as WHITE, I took the cube and won the match after redoubling, but it looks as if I got lucky. I was able to get off the bar on my first roll and RED was stuck for five rolls. Had the situation been reversed and RED able to pick up one of my two blots, I could easily have been gammoned.
