(Kissane Cluster count: BTW there are ALWAYS multiple ways to do this using different patterns, this is just what comes to me).

Blue: mentally shift 4-point checkers total of net 8 pips back to the 8 point, the two towers on 6 and 8 are 70 - 8 = 62. Add 40 less one for the three on the midpoint, 62 + 40 - 1 = 101. Add 40 + 2 for the two back checkers, 101 + 40 + 2 = 143.

White: mentally shift 10 and 8 point checkers to 7 point (+4), shift 3 point checkers to 5 point (-4), shift 1 point checkers to 4 point (-6), 5-prime around 6 point is 60 - 6 = 54. Add 40 less one for the three on midpoint, 54 + 40 - 1 = 93. Add 40 + 5 for the two back checkers 93 + 40 + 5 = 138.
