One checker closeout vs number off One checker closeout vs number off

I've been trying to extend my view for a class of positions, where one side has hit and closed out one enemy checker, while the opponent has already borne off some checkers on his own.

All I've found was tables of a perfect 654 spares distribution vs opponnent's no-gap, no-unecesary-blot board (usually just all checkers on his 2 lowest points).

My own mnemo-system for a much wider class (different spares distribution for one side and gaps or additional homeboard blots for the other side) is in the works, but I wanted to compare the results with another paper/elaborate (sorry for my non-precise wording) that one might have done on that matter.

Do you know any links to such materials online or can advice a book that deals with it?

501 Essential Backgammon Problems has a large section on this topic. The Chapter is 'Post-Ace-Point Games', although the positions can arise from Back Games as well.

It only covers a tiny subset of positions, but within that range it seems OK.
