I was surprised at BGBlitz early double at this score.
I'm using the following chart for initial doubles in 5pters :
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.backgammon/browse_thread/thread/bd989805eead47c8/d1425f115c722aa5
Given the chart, this double seemed rather counter intuitive to me.
How many would have doubled in BGBlittz's position? What would be the
logic over the board?
