i wouldn't call it cheating...i'd call it somebody not knowing the rules of the game...type in ..backgammon rules....in your search....everyone of the sites states that if both dice can be used they must be used....why is that so tough to understand....the way it is it's like playing a game of checkers and just because your king is trapped in a corner you don't want to move that move....or the jump rule in checkers....maybe i don't want to jump...
