Alex Eshaghian:
White has many builders to attack, but one man's builders are another man's blots. Black's three point board combined with the back checker tucked away on the 24 keep him in the game enough to take. Although black has a checker on the bar, his back checkers are technically split, which allows him to possibly secure a higher anchor with 43, 32, or 21.
Christian Munk-Christensen:
Huge cube and probably a pass because what is red hoping for here? Probably coming in on the 24 and making an anchor is the best realistic scenario for red, and that is a bad game, especially because red made the deep points.
If red fails to anchor then he will be blitzed and White has a lot of ammo in the zone
Justin Nowell:
Over the board I just double and take. Okay they can make the 3 but I have chance if I enter next roll. Sometime I enter and anchor, sometimes I enter and hit outside. Sometimes I enter and hit inside. Sometimes I enter and do nothing but he attacks loose next time and I hit back. I think those attackers can sometimes also be liabilities so I take.
