In Response To: Ruling in Dubai (Ian Terry)

I’m not a rules expert and have no idea what is supposed to happen (though I agree what happened seems wrong) — but is there a good summary anywhere of the main arguments in favor of Responsible vs. Legal moves? Can think of lots of pros/cons and conflicting goals (protecting honest players who don’t want to take advantage of opponents’ mistakes vs. punishing careless players vs. not being too hard on careless mistakes vs. incentivizing players to be careful to make legal moves because opponent might take advantage of them vs …), and I haven’t really digested and tried to evaluate these, but it seems weird to me that major tournaments still haven’t aligned on one or the other.
