In the below position, it's an obvious take, but I think it would be
a struggle for many players to know whether to hold or to redouble.
My pre-Isight self would actually wrongly double here.
I would be thinking "It's similar to a four roll position and I've got an
extra checker off. I don't like the gap but the other factors are more
significant. D/T."
However, Axel would say: "Raw pip counts 35 each. Penalise
one player for the 5 point gap and the other play for the extra checker.
We get 36 each. 36 + 1/6 * 36 - 36 = 6 but 5 or less is needed for
a redouble. So hold.

You don't need anything as sophisticated as Isight to correct the basic
error above. This is a not a four-roll position. It's a "pips"
position and not a "rolls" position.
