Nice one. No need here for any race formulae, but I am surprised by how
good Kleinman works here, in a very short and extreme position. But of
course the game winning chances can be figured out analytically, even
over the board with a clock.

But this is only half of the task ...

Is my advantage strong enough to double? Should XG take?

Over the board this is a clear double according to Woolseys law: Your
oppenent must be either semi-mad or know about METs to at all consider
taking. (-;

Obviously, MET makes this problem completely trivial so please don't
use MET.

Err, what else? I cannot see another reasonable approach to sort this
out at this match score and cube level. (I assume Neil's numbers and
Turner's formula count as using MET.)

Best regards
