Blue is Player 1
XGID=-aBBCCC------B----------n-:0:0:1:00:0:0:0:1:10
Blue on roll

This puzzle is inspired by Stick's Fun Times - Pick up a 2nd Checker position.

Sorry for changing the position, but I found a better one. If you haven't gotten far along, please work on this position instead. (If anyone provides a solution for the original position, I'll discuss that one as well.)

In the above DMP game, in spite of both sides playing perfectly (arbited by XGR++), Blue picks up a second checker and wins the game.

(a) How can Blue accomplish this?
(b) What is the fewest number of total rolls required for Blue to accomplish this?

Good luck!

Nack
