I've got a couple of hundred in my forums I let Fencer borrow. They are all gifs so they don't take up much space or processor power.

On a side note, I upgraded from IPB 1.3 to 2.0 and I must say I'll never go back. I love it!!! Hard to find skins for it though.

Could this be continued at the backgammon discussion board please? Its getting a bit 'in depth' for this board!

I agree with Kevin. Timeout and resign should be worth 1xcube if the loser already has pieces off. I fail to see why timeout/resign should be penalized as there is no way more than 1x points could be lost even if the game had been played out.

But timing out or resigning before bearing off any pieces is a tricky situation because there could be a possibility that checkers can be sent back to bar. Maybe 2x points should be given after resign/timeout if all opposing pieces have passed each other and 3x otherwise.

I'm talking about resigning a game which is part of a multi-point match with the cube.

I'm not saying a player should be let out a game where the other person has a chance to get maximum points from them. I am saying a player should be let out a game where the other person does not have a chance to get maximum points from them (for example, in a multi-point match with the cube where a player already has at least one piece removed, and therefore cannot possibly lose more than 1x the cube).

23. Septembro 2004, 04:52:11

Are you talking about resigning a match or game?

If I understand it correctly, if they already have a piece removed (and cube not used), then that match is worth 1 point then they should be able to start the second match.

If a player is about to lose 1 point in the first match, but does not want to play the other matches - then he would forfeit the points from those also - to the max amount of points.

Why let a player get out of a game where the other person has a chance to get maximum points from them?

Modifita de Kevin (23. Septembro 2004, 04:32:49)

Yes - i'm saying they (time out and resign)should be treated the same.

If you are in a position where you ALREADY HAVE A PIECE OFF there is NO POSSIBLE way you can lose more than 1x the cube by finishing the game. Therefore, why make them forfeit more than that?

isnt it a legal move to resign a game of pro backgammon?

23. Septembro 2004, 04:15:32

Temo: re: Pro Backgammon

I would consider a resignation & time out as the same

23. Septembro 2004, 04:13:05

Czuch

Temo: Re: Pro Backgammon

Isnt a resignation and a time out the same consequences

23. Septembro 2004, 04:06:22

Temo: Re: Pro Backgammon

The only problem with that is if a weaker player is playing against a much stronger player, they may just time out to lose less points then play it out to lose the max points. So to be fair to the player who does not time out, I believe it should be for the max points.

I think (in the case of a time-out or a resign) rather that forfeiting 3x the dice, you should forefeit the current position of the board (ie: by resigning or timing out you send all of your opponent's pieces to the end). For example, if you already have one or more pieces off of the board, you forfeit 1x the dice. If you do not have any on the bar or in your opponent's home quarter, you lose 2x the dice, and if you still have one or more on the bar or in your opponent's home quarter you lose 3x the dice.
