Practice Problem; PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK!

In Response To: Practice Problem; PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK! (Chuck Bower)

Blue: 42 + (40-1) = 81 + (10*6 + 2) = 143

White: (40+5) + (40-1) = 84 + 10 + 24 + 12 + 4*2 = 138

I guess I took 10-15 seconds. Jeez I'm out of practice.

You didn't ask, but it takes only a few seconds to see that Blue is down 3-2-10+4 = 5 pips. Even less to see that in this easy position 3 blue spares on the 6 point more or balance White's acepoint and 10 point checkers.
