X on roll, cube action
In mid-game blitz positions, I'm more likely to miss a double than to
double too soon, but this is an exception. X has ten checkers in the
zone and an advanced anchor, and O has two on the bar, so I thought
that was enough to justify a double. But O's position is otherwise
pretty good---she has the stronger board and an extra outfield point
made, with no stray blots to pick up. X is actually slightly behind
in the pip count and has a straggler to escape, not to mention a blot
in his board to clean up.

With 11 checkers in the zone and both back checkers escaped, X is
doing pretty well and I thought this was a good double, and I wasn't
even sure it was a take. However, XG says that it's not even a double.
