A Change of Mind

Position 1

The score (after 0 games) is: Red 0, Black 0 (match to 11 points)

Move number 1: Black on roll, cube decision?

Annotation

Both of these doubling positions are examples of reversal of decisions by the bots when rolled out. Does Black have a double, and if so, does Red take?

 

Position 2

The score (after 0 games) is: Red 6, Black 3 (match to 11 points)

Move number 1: Red on roll, cube decision?

Red on roll this time. What is his cube decision?

Be sure to add your reasoning and remember, this is a learning exercise, so please... no help from the bots :)


URANIUM
Position 1: I know its a take, but whether its a cube.. not sure. Anyway I say Double/Take.

Position 2: Double/Drop. I don't think the score has anything to do with the decision.

Thanks!
