In Response To: Tobias Hellwag--International BG Personality--Interview (Stick)

In the interview, Tobias says: "I know the legal moves rule from Copenhagen but it is not too popular worldwide, I did play it in Chicago and some other good rules and would hope it would be everywhere – I tried to promote it in some chouettes but people are suspicious about it when they hear it first time."
