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.

No double
Player Winning Chances: 61.14% (G:24.75% B:0.52%)
Opponent Winning Chances: 38.86% (G:11.59% B:0.52%)
