certainly take this as O. As for the double, I don't think most
hitting rolls lose X's market. But maybe if X makes a good point
and O fails to hit? I don't think I'd double OTB but this could
be a double.

I kept the details carefully on my other computer, so I'll post the rollout today.
I had a similar reaction OTB to you, in that I had trouble deciding whether to double or not.
Fortunately, I decided to double.

What if O's two rearmost checkers were anchored on X's 5pt?
Then it would be a fairly standard D/T. Splitting O's checkers
can't be good for O, so it must still be a double, with the
take in question.
