alanback: IMHO a player who times out in a multigame match should forfeit the match, not just the current game.

I agree with that, at least with backgammon cubed matches, which should really be seen as a whole and not as separated games. So if timing out is currently worth a backgammon, it is still a low price to pay.

As for resignations, it is true that ideally one should be able to state what type of game one should resign, but I don't find it too serious that one cannot. Proper autopass / autoplay would save a lot more time !
