In Response To: New Rules in LA--What is the verdict? (Phil Simborg)

I didn't attend Los Angeles, but I watched a few recent instream matches. One thing that alarmed me was people (even Giants) moving checkers back and forth to examine various positions. I didn't know whether I was watching backgammon or a New City shell game. The Simborg/Bower/Horton 5.4 (Unambiguous handling of equipment) is better than the existing rule, but I would prefer a "touch move" rule.
