Rules
I am a keen amateur player, have not been playing very long. In a
recent game, I accidentally made an erroneous move (I mis-counted the
dice spots), and only after my opponent rolled her dice did I suddenly
realise my mistake. She had rolled double six so wanted her roll to
still be valid after I corrected my move. So, first question: am I
allowed to correct my move after she had rolled her dice; secondly: if
so, is her roll valid or does she have to re-roll?
Thank you for your time in answering my question.
Bob.

Once the opponent rolls the dice no corrections on your move are allowed.
The move stands even though it was illegal. The only time your opponent
can insist that you replay the move (and it is THEIR option, not yours ...
they can choose to let your play stand.), is before they roll or offer
the cube.
