In a recent 7 point match game, the score was 1 to 6, my favor. When the next game appeared to be lost, my opponent resigned, thus giving the match to me.

I suggested that he resigned because of his frustration and his ability to come from behind. Because backgammon is a game of reversals, order prescription drugs it was entirely possible he might have won, but by resigning, it gave me a ‘hollow’ victory and a somewhat unsatisfying feeling of winning the match.
