jryden: Thanks... I didnt resign it though, unless I did it on accident?
I know it can and will happen in backgammon. It has just been my luck lately, and I like to whine!
But one thing.... I think it is different in a cubed match.... when you are up 4 to 2 , why would you risk getting sacked for 2 points when you dont have to risk it? Any way you look at it, it takes a lot of luck to get your home set up right, first, then have your opponent leave one open to hit, then on top of all that they have to hit the roll!!! I think it is too much luck to risk when you are up 4 to 2 in a 5 point match!
Not to mention that she could have run a long time ago and been guaranteed of only losing one point, and it ends up that she may lose it anyway, even after all of the luck she had! I think I am more inclined to take the one point loss. than risk being gammoned (which could have easily happened!) Unless maybe, your opponent is so good that you dont like yourself even in a 4 to 3 match to 5!
