Should Black double to 2? |
If he is even one point better for either of his men, I generally don’t take the double. Why? Because with either a 1 and 5 position or a 2 and 4 position he has twenty-three out of thirty-six ways of getting off. Here, it’s not worth my taking the chance, and so I refuse the cube, pay the dollar, and hate him even more!
