How does white win this one? The only way I see is to shake a 61 more or less immediately. If it doesn't happen in the next three rolls, blue is almost certain to enter and saunter around the board while white's board crunches. Granted, White's take point is ~17% here so she can take deeper than usual but the "well-timed" part of the "well-timed ace point game" that wins ~20% is missing. Factor in the gammons and I can't see taking at this score.
