Just one more argument for Legal Moves

In Response To: Just one more argument for Legal Moves (roadkillbooks)

Without LM, having a checker on the bar could lead to a game/match that no one can win...

Suppose both home boards are closed and I am on the bar. As you continue to roll and hunt for loose checkers, you mistakenly put one of your own on the bar and hit the clock. If I condone your illegal play (because I'm behind 0-16) then the game/match cannot continue. We're both on the bar and neither of us can roll.
