This position demonstrates the massive power of the match score. At a level score or for money this is a powerful double and a huge pass.The potential for a redouble to four by White is what makes this a comfortable take for him.
Clearly Red should double but White has an anchor and all his checkers in play. There is also some duplication of Red’s fours. How would you play 42 as Red?
White may well be forced into an ace-point game but that is not guaranteed by any means.
As you can see White’s take is very easy – a fact that may surprise many readers.
