Very interesting position, and - not that it really matters - but did it actually occur? Interesting problems can anyway be more easily generated from real positions (with or especially without perfect play up to that point) where the dice roll is different to the one actually generated. Apart from the various options here, what perhaps makes this one even more intriguing is that the pip counts are perfectly balanced allowing for who will be on roll next shake.

FWIW I think I make the 14 and 15 points. Not only does it cover the outfield well, but it gets the back chequers on their way in what is an even race.
