As indicated by Paul in his great bible Backgammon, a bold play is indicated among others with a racing lag. Black is much behind and he needs to contain the white back man. Bringing down a man from the midpoint may not seem a big deal, but it can cover the 8 with a 3 and the 3 with 62, 44 and 22. Also it makes the bar with 61 or 64. After a white dance, the actual position is not yet a double, but had white played 9/3* 13/11 followed by white dance, it would be a double and a take. |

A little premature. Because black is way behind in the race and he has a lot of work to do. As it happened, white tok the easy take and lost. It just happens most of the time, but that does not mean Black's double is correct. White can win (gammons too) many redoubled or not games. Black may offer the double at a better advantage. |

If black was in a dire need of gammon, maybe... Otherwise, a surplus man on the bar point is ridiculous. |

White must slot the ace point voluntarily before the dice dictate so. |
