Subject: illegal moves in backgammon

(I could be wrong since I'm not a gammon expert, but I'm pretty sure this is against the rules... please correct me if I'm wrong)

Lets take for example if you roll a 6 and a 2. Lets say only 1 of your checkers are able to move 6 spaces (and many to move 2 spaces)

So instead of moving that 1 checker 6 spaces, you move it only 2 - leaving the "6 dice" to do nothing, and you end your move.

I believe the rules are (and again, I may be wrong) - If possible, you HAVE to use both dice when it is possible. So the software should "MAKE" me move that 1 checker 6 spaces, and also move a checker 2 spaces.

I have seen this happen in 2 of my games here so far.
