In Response To: Onetime shuffle rule (Nack Ballard)

I agree this is an issue. Shuffling makes it difficult to think during the opponent's turn. This will become a much greater issue as the use of clocks grows. Without clocks, this was less of an issue since the player could always take as much time as needed on his / her own turn rather than use time wisely while opponent was moving. With clocks, it may be essential to do things such as counting a race on the opponents time. Shuffling checkers could be used maliciously or innocently to defeat such practices. It could also be used to mask an illegal move during time pressure.

I would be OK with Nack's idea.
