What is the worth of a monkey jump? Peter says 9 points.

Compared to the "straight to the edge" final situation, black lost 6 points, and white got 1 point, +7 for white.

If black starts, we get to a cooler position.

This position is 2 points with sente for black, 1 point with gote for white. Some people would call that 1.5 points for black. If one accepts that, then the original monkey jump has a value of 8.5 points.
