Walter Montego: All good, except that when you have the cube, it means you can double and your opponent cannot. At the start nobody has the cube.
And it is quite possible that doubling is a good move when you're stuck. For instance I am down to 1 piece and it is stuck. I was previously trying for a gammon, but now that is impossible so I just double.
