In Response To: Dice on a Checker (neilkaz)

I had a discussion with an ABT tournament director earlier this week. This director said they had been using the new rule for three months without incident. The director loved the die on a checker rule.

The director said the true test is to use and get used to the new rule and then go back and play a match with the old rule. The director said it is quickly obvious that the old rule is now "slow, boring, and archaic".

Says volumes.

I have a friend who occasionally uses a grossly politically incorrect phrase -- which means it is significant.

He says he never tried gay sex because he is afraid he might like it. It reminds me of the reaction of many toward the die on a checker rule.
