I was looking for that old thread. I finally got a loss brutal enough for it. Just posting for fun.

I think you should be awarded a trophy for THE most shocking loss. \'ve seen and been on the receiving end of 'one roll and it's all over' games' but that tops them all!! Congratulations or should I say comisserations!

Wow, that was truly, truly heart-breaking. But I would still not have resigned just in case a got a 4-4,5-5,6-6 and could get out of the inner area. But hey I'm just an optimist.

I think dullstone got to see that last roll, knew it wasn't a useful double, and resigned. Right?  

Commiserations x 3

It's been a while I have not participated in forum discussions, but I couldn't help this time:

What the hell was that??

I had so many disastrous games like this and shared some of them in the past, but in the closest one to this which I believe was against Lilwarrior or Dinosaur, I had a chance to play 2 unforced moves before getting backgammoned.

Only your first move (3-4) was unforced.
Wow!

Yeah, I saw the roll--Snake eyes. Just kidding;)

I am proud to be 'the biggest loser ever.'

Dullstone, Just wanted to let you know, I did really feel for you as that game progressed.
I seriously considered warning you. Shocking as it must have been, due to forced moves, I can only imagine what a game like that would be like if it had been played w/o
fm and spread over a period of days. Anyway, I'm confident that each future win will feel all the more satisfying.
