I'm sure estimates will be available soon

I saw some blog comment from someone claiming to be (IIRC) an amateur 3-4 dan -- i.e., good enough to estimate this sort of thing pretty well -- reckoning probably 3.5 or 4.5 points in white's favour. That would be after the komi of 7.5 points given to white as compensation for moving second, or so I assume from the half-points in the figure. So that would correspond to black being ahead by 3-4 points before komi.
