Pat Gibson and Jeb Horton are ABT directors, and they have no problem changing the rules to Legal Moves. Ask them, and they will tell you they feel it is a better game not only because it eliminates problems like the one described on this thread, but other problems as well. They feel it is a better, fairer game, and so do the large majority of experienced players around the world.

If you are an ABT Director and you have a problem enforcing one of your own rules, don't you think that is a strong reason why you shouldn't have that rule?

By the way, this is a rule that I, and many others, think is a very bad rule, but even bad rules must be followed, and I have lived with it for many years, and if I make a stupid move I expect to be punished for it, and if my opponent does, I expect him to take it in good stride and not be a baby about it and call for a committee and the director and make posts about being screwed. It's a lousy rule, but it is the rule and we must respect it...most of all, the tournament director who decided to use this rule must respect it.
