It's a money game, white on roll. Should white double? If white doubles, should black take?
It is a double and a take. I dropped this, and I should have taken. After looking at it, I can see that black is not likely to get gammoned and has enough wins for there to be a take. There is a lot of game left.

Well, I do not think this was really a blunder ON THE BOARD.
The Snowie figures show that there is 12'5% of difference but white gets a gammon 26'3% of the time (the double)
So, I think that droping was not that bad. I would not have taken either but I am only a beginner/intermediate player.
