Let us assume a match to 7 and player A leads 5-1.
If during the next game player B doubles and A accepts then the doubling cube moves from the middle to player A's side. But it is a dead cube
for player A, by rule! The BG implementation must (!) grey out the cube and it is an illegal move for player A to redouble in this situation!
...
Finally, less important: At the score of 5-1 for player A and an accepted cube to 2, if player A
wins a (doubled) gammon, the final score is not 9-1 but it is 7-1. The winner always gets 7 points.
