It's a money game and black is on roll. What is the proper cube action? Should black double? Should white take if black doubles?
To the surprise of a lot of people, this is NOT even a double, and of course, an easy take. MOST PEOPLE WOULD DROP THIS CUBE, so for that reason, over the board, it is not a bad double at all...you will often get a drop, and if you don't, you're still a good favorite.
Even if black had 11 checkers off instead of 10, it's double take, but at 12 off, it becomes a drop.
