In Response To: I don't think it is as cut and dry as that (Barry Silliman)

Barry says "Having said all this, I'm beginning to come around to being a proponent of legal moves, even though I share Gregg Cattanach's distaste that it can have a tendency to make an honest person look like a bad guy if he misses an illegal move that favors him."

From now on, I will play legal moves in all matches unless my opponent enforces an illegal play on me first. I will try to state up front that I am playing legal moves as I say "Good Match". Even next time I play Gregg.....

It just makes too much sense to have a friendly environment for all the reasons argued here over the years....
