Looks like at best a borderline Take.

When there is a disparity in bearin pips I calc the difference (13 - 5 = 8) and divide by 2 ( = 4). Add this to White's total pipcount so we're now at 62-68.

Then there are the distribution issues. Ward adds one for the gapped 4-point and one for the extra on the acepoint (nothing for the stacked 3-point). So we're up to 62-70 which is right on the borderline (10% +/- 2 pips). [Well, OK, Ward adds 1/2 pip for Blue's third checker on the 2-point.]

White's six die in the next couple rolls fills the 4-point -- a small plus.

I guess if you believe my counting it's a small Take but I won't be surprised if the distribution for White is even worse than I've allowed.

Bare Take for me.
