In Response To: OMFG (Daniel Murphy)

>In agreement with Justin, I'll repeat my suggestion from another thread: "Why not also add, as a recommendation [in the WBA rules], that a player comparing various moves return the checkers to their starting position between tryouts."

Oh my God. So it's true. Players have the option to actually try things on the board???? How awful that is. Can't they do it mentally???? I can really believe what i hear. :O

This is how we play it here(Greece) and i thought this is the standard way everywhere and especially in World Championships, as it's the damn logical way of playing. What is the purpose of messing around with the board?
