What, precisely, is your objection to this method of moving checkers?

(1) If you haven't moved your checker yet, what did you hit my checker with?

(2) I'm going to avoid disputes about where checkers were by insisting that moves be done as clearly as they need to be to be clear. It's not sufficient that the final position be legal. I want no disputes about where my checker was, if opponent (a) lets a long time pass between picking up my checker and moving his, or (b) ends up making some other move that doesn't even legally hit my checker. I've experienced both (a) and (b).

Just so we're clear, I'd have no objection to you first moving 24/13 and then picking up a blot on the bar point, but that wasn't Tim's question. When I said Tim might move one die at a time, I didn't mean he would have to move 24/18 first and then 18/13, but that doing so would help make sure that he didn't pick up his dice before picking up the hit checker.
