WhiteTower: In this particular instance it was 50-50 before the move. The illegal move protected against leaving a blot. Had Tiikeri done the best legal move, my next roll would have been a hit giving me winning chances of 2/3. By protecting herself with the illegal move Tiikeri's own chances were 2/3.

That's a reason to think that a resignation would have been appropriate, but it was a very volatile game - her man on the bar would have been entering a 5-point board with a blot which, if hit, would have swung the game back the other way again - so a draw would also have been acceptable.

But, as I said to Walter, the point is not the game itself but the sporting attitude or otherwise that's shown.
