Blue's position wastes slightly more than 7 pips, making his EPC about 86 minus 4 for being on roll. Last take point for money per trice formula is 96 at 22 percent. 1 pip is therefore worth (50-22)/(96-82) = 2 percent. Whites EPC is slightly more complicated, but let's see: Position with closed board and spares on 6,5,4/3,2,1 waste about 10/13.5 pips. It is reasonable to assume that White will not be able to put spares to ideal spots, but he has no checkers on ace point, which roughly cancel each other out. That makes me think this position wastes slightly more than 10 pips,3 more than blue. Add 3 to 4 (for being on roll) gives 7 pips. 7*2 + 50 = 64 percent
