    What is the difference between ham and gammon?

    		"Ham is a pig's hind leg, first cut off the carcass and then smoked, salted or dried (or a combination of these) for preservation. Gammon also comes from the hind leg but it is cured as part of a side of bacon and cut off after wards."

    		Gammon is a two point win obtained by clearing all of your pieces before your opponent has cleared any of theirs.
