Honest / Bizarre Misplays

In Response To: Honest / Bizarre Misplays (Albert Steg)

Here are some of the more bizarre illegal plays that I've seen (in casual games, not money games or tournament games, but these were honest mistakes).

  • Getting confused about the direction of play, and/or who is playing which color, and moving an opponent's checker as if it were one's own, or moving a checker backwards instead of forwards.

  • (Interesting special case of the above) Entering from the bar and anchoring, except behaving as if the checker already in the home board were the opponent's (i.e., hitting it and putting it on the bar, thereby effectively doing nothing).

  • Thinking that one is on the bar when one is not, in fact, on the bar, and grabbing a seemingly random checker from one's own outer board and "entering" it into the opponent's inner board.
