Black doubles to 8. Should White take? |
Black now redoubles in this position. He is a favorite here because white has only five men off. But because of the men on black’s 1 point, white accepts the double, for the chances are that black is going to have to break his board immediately without getting any of the extra men off before he has to break. White’s take is correct in all money games.
