The best comeback ever? (vs NJ Backgammon iPhone app)

In general, this is a great app, but it is highly annoying that it forces you to play out hopeless positions as there is no way to either resign or have it finish the game by playing both sides.

So imagine my surprise to be Blue in something resembling this position down 0-6 Crawford and win the match from here!

Seems there's a bug and after I took a checker off, NJ took its remaining checker off and somehow did not realize it had won. It only showed a single checker in its bearoff tray and no checkers left on the board. It kept passing its turn until I took all my checkers off the board and declared me the winner. I then came back from 1-6 PC to win the match.

Match to 7, White leads 6-0
Blue to play 2-6

NJ	1
Me	71
