In Response To: Thoughts on a cube here? (Neil Robins)

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 176 Unlimited Game pip: 99 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=--BBbdBCBB-B-----bbca---a-:0:0:1:66:0:0:0:0:10
Blue rolls only 66. .White rolls only 55. ...WHO WINS?

For the rest of the game, Blue rolls only double 6s (repeatedly) and White rolls only double 5s (repeatedly), and both players make the best moves they can given these stated rules.

Who wins (and how)?

(The cube is taken out of play and the match score is irrelevant. Blue moves first.)
