[BG Problem] Race GWC?

I would also use iSight but rather than the penalties for the 1 and 2 point being > 2, here I would use the Keith count penalties for the 1 and 2 points as Blue has only 1 checker on his one point and White has many.

So Blue = 576 + 2 = 58 White = 57 + 15 = 72

I would then use Arthur Benjamin's modifications to the Klienman count https://www.math.hmc.edu/~benjamin/papers/BackgammonRacing.pdf

GWC = 327 / 106 = 3.11 since 3 = 88% and 3.3 = 89%, I would use 88.5%
