In Response To: Touch Move rule, dangers (Chuck Bower)

Do you really think this is a sound reason for justifying a touch-move rule in backgammon?

Exactly. It's just as much of a justification as claiming, "If we are to bring new players to the game, we canīt expect them to have a photographic memory and projections of positions after the move of the checkers."

I believe it is the existing players that are much more impacted by the rule change.
