In Response To: Puzzle: Gin in 12 rolls (key variant) (Nack Ballard)

My solution (I haven't really looked at perfecting the extra credit):

White 65: 13/7 13/8
Blue 66: 24/18* 13/7(3)
White 55: b/20 6/1*(3)
Blue 66: b/19* 13/7(2) 8/2
White 11: b/24 13/12 13/11
Blue 66: 19/13*/7 18/12*/6
White 44: b/21(2) 24/20(2)
Blue 66: 8/2(2) 7/1*(2)
White 55: b/15 21/16(2)
Blue 66: 7/1(4)
White 44: 20/16(3) 11/7
Blue 66: 6/off(4)

Leaving the following position:

White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 145 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 24 score: 0 Blue is Player 1 XGID=-FC---B--ea------ea-----c-:0:0:-1:00:0:0:3:0:10

eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.03

White on roll has 33 crossovers needing 9 rolls and white has 24 pips left needing 8 rolls.
