There's a famous backgammon documentary called "The Settlers"
about two bg friends who regard it as hostile and unfriendly to play
a game to its conclusion so every game they play ends in a settlement.
In this position, Casey (O) offered Robin (X) a gammon for 4 points
after she rolled boxes, and Robin agreed.
Who benefited from this settlement?
Paul
