Aganju: Here is another example (which I researched from a fellowship game) -- Resher pointed out the rule to Zach, and Zach later offered a draw in good sportsmanship because he didn't open up the spot on time. Click on move 25: Fevga (Zach vs. Resher)

cd power: Actually, we should take this whole thread to the Backgammon Board; it is really not of 'common interest' to all BrainKing (-> http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26)
cd power: Thanks for finding this game - it's exactly the one I've been trying to find. Zach was very good about this game. He was about to win by just one roll, but because he had delayed unblocking by one roll earlier on, he offered a draw. So this shows it can affect the outcome - it doesn't just apply to hopelessly lost cases that don't matter.
(I didn't realise that you could read all our in-game comments - is that some special privilege you have?)
Pedro Martínez: (1) How would cd power know I'd pointed out the rule to Zach then? I was guessing he had special status, rather than everyone could see the comments. (2) Why do you think that? Apart from one stone on my 1-point (which can't move) all other stones are behind a six prime, so can't move either. Please explain how you interpret the rule.
(1) I don't know. You may have discussed the game in a fellowship. (2) The rule says that if (a) opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, then (b) the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move.
The situation described as (a) did not occur in your game, hence (b) did not (or would not) have to be enforced.

Resher: This game was talked about in the Untouchables fellowship... I found it in the fellowship thread. That's how I know what happened.
Everyone interprets rules differently, that's why I asked for clarification in my original post. Also, per Aganju's request, further discussion should take place on the backgammon board: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26
