	167
Opening position	167

I haven't reiterated it in a while, but the rule in my opening-position problems is that regular rules of backgammon apply, so the first player is NOT permitted opening doublets (unless otherwise stated).

Your suggested variant (doublets on opening roll allowed) is an interesting separate problem. It is possible to attain higher than 56, though.

Cheers,

Nack
