resigning before opponent bears off
ForD: Backgammon: You still have not fixed the problem of awarding a Gammon when an opponent resigns, but no checkers have been born off. I see that sometimes an opponent will resign with a checker off-board and no Gammon is awarded; while other times a Gammon is awarded even though checkers are in play throughout the board and no player has his home base full. Terribly inconsistent. Also: who starts first is also inconsistent. Who decides who goes first? Certainly not the players. The rules (as I was taught and have researched, and which other sites use) is that each player rolls one die and the highest leads (with that roll). I am surprised that others players have not caught these errors. Or at least not reported them. I like the look of your game but your rules of play ****. As does your system of points awarded/deducted for win/loss. Totally unfair and inconsistent. If you care about keeping players on your site, please fix these problems.
this problem is still occurring. PLEASE FIX.
