Nack,

Left diagram is a position "equivalent" to your minimum pipcount difference.

Right diagram displays a minimum pipcount difference of zero with pipcount equals to 40. (I believe it is impossible to get a minimum pipcount difference of zero if keeping White pipcount equals to 39)

But I was not able to increase the maximum pipcount to 111 in order to keep difference in differences to 71.

White wins a Bar-G in 5 + 4 = 9 rolls39

Blue wins a Bar-G in 5 + 4 = 9 rolls38

White wins a Bar-G in 5 + 4 = 9 rolls40

Blue wins a Bar-G in 5 + 4 = 9 rolls40
