In Response To: Ten Things I Hate About the BG Experience (Stick)

People who think they have to set up every play to show you that they considered the play. I don't know if anyone else notices this and I esp. see it in doubles though that may be partly due to the weakness of the competition, but some ppl feel the need to show you that they considered all the options. Some need to set up a position to get a feel for it, some positions are easier to understand when set up, I get that, but you know the type of player who sets it up, or talks to himself about the play, or makes sweeping hands gestures to let you know he knows he could hit two! The more I play the more I don't touch a piece until I've decided on a play, it's not chess but envisioning your play instead of setting it up, moving it back, setting it up, moving it back, etc... seems more professional and maybe has some rewards in the long run.

After the Clock Crusade is complete, should this be the next one? Touch/move as in chess? Far fewer disputes about the original position. This isn't rocket science. Just throwing it out there. I sure wouldn't complain.
