A government health warning about premature concession

Don't trust players who make shrug-shoulder type gestures encouraging
you to make a concession -- for example to resign a single or accept a
single instead of a gammon. Check for yourself.
At Giants levels, these incorrect you're--giving-up-aren't-you gestures
are probably mistakes but, at lower levels, this can be very deliberate.
At lower levels, a player might see that 44 fails to bear off any checkers and attempt to avoid the risk of a gammon loss by conceding a single.
