In Response To: Nordic Open Ruling in Quarterfinals -- O'Laughlin vs. Mitrelis (Chuck Bower)

Chuck Bower: But reading this I am wondering -- does an illegal move also constitute cheating by your definition?

In the vast majority of cases, no. Almost all illegal moves in backgammon are the result of carelessness. I mentioned before that I ran into ONE guy in BG who I thought was making illegal plays intentionally.

I am very much on board with the crowd that wants to impose penalties for illegal plays.
