In this game:

http://www.youplay.it/play/bm_GameMove.asp?GameID=623043

My opponent has flown off the edge of the playing area (retired) without honour, yet still gets a point. I understand that this point is because the game awarded him "Best Player" from his side.

I'm not debating the rights and wrongs of his actions but I need a clarification of the rules.

I thought that if you retired without honour you received no points.

If I had retired rather than him - would I have therefore have won the game?

So having my engine shot off may not be a hindrance if I am far enough ahead I just fly off the board anywhere I like in multi-player league games.

You are incorrect on many counts. You DID win the game, and if you had retired without honor instead of him, you would have still won the game. However, your opponent's choice to leave the game without honor gave you an extra League point for the Strategic victory. If your opponent had retired with honor, your victory would only have been Tactical. If you had retired without honor instead of your opponent, the game win would still be yours but instead of 6 League points, you would have only scored 2 for the Draw.

Where did you get the thought that you receive no points if you retire without honor? Is there something written on the site that gave you that impression? If there is, it would be good to point out so that it can be corrected and avoid the confusion for yourself and others.
