In Response To: Onetime shuffle rule (Nack Ballard)

As a player, I couldn´t agree more. I am usually capable to visualize the position after the move, so I can easily apply the "new" rule.

As a TD, I can see a problem, because less expeirenced players need the visualization and penalizing them with the "new" rule would give them an additional handicap. We should help them to come into the game, not to leave it....

On a separate note, in some traditional backgammon countries, the touch-move rule always applies. But they don´t use the cube...
