This position chills to +1 3/8.
White can play to a position worth +1/2 (chilling to +1 1/2).
Black can play to a position worth +2 1/4 (chilling to +1 1/4).
To evaluate the black follower, let's look at its black and white followers.
reverses to a position worth +1 1/2. (The chilled value is the same, since each player has made the same number of plays.)
The black follower, chilled, is
- ``{ 1 | 1 1/2} = 1 1/4``
So the original position, chilled, is
- ``{ 1 1/4 | 1 1/2} = 1 3/8``
