Accepting or rejecting a resignation offer

When your opponent has offered to resign, you must accept or reject the offer before the game can continue.

Accept

Click the Accept button to accept the resign offer. The current game ends and you win the number of points offered. If the match is not over, the next game will begin.

NOTE: You should always check the number of points being offered by your opponent! Unscrupulous players have been known to "accidently" resign one point when they are about to be gammoned or backgammoned. If you accept such an offer, you will only win a single game, rather than double or triple, so BEWARE!

Reject

Click the Reject button to decline the resign offer and continue the game.

Resigning is a common practice to speed game play, so you should have a good reason for rejecting a resignation and make sure your opponent understands why you did. For example, your opponent may offer to resign one point, and you feel you have a chance at a gammon and wish to play it out.
