Should White double to 2? |
Black should accept if white is the stronger player, whereas he should drop if black is an expert pitted against a weaker player, since there is little expertise left in this game. The doubler is a razor-sharp boomerang and it could be suicidal to allow it to fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, the giving of a double depends not only on the position of the moment but on the psychological make-up and technical ability of your adversary.
