R/P looks correct. Blue has 27 covers and D6 is a good non-covering number. A reference position to keep in mind is Blue closing out one White checker with spares on 6-5-4 and White being flush to his acepoinnt. The side with the closed board wins about 85% in this RP. Blue rates end up with something slightly worse than 6-5-4 but White isn't flush to the ace and will occasionally get a 2nd checker hit. I'll guess that these differences will roughly cancel out so I'll give White ~ 4 wins out of the 27 where Blue covers.

On the 9 non-covering numbers, I'll give White ~ 3 to 3.5 wins, some of which will be g's. Looks like not quite enough for White to take, so R/P.
