...A rule change is needed. Placing your own checker on the bar can never be legal under any circumstances. Moving your opponent's checker from its current position to anywhere other than the bar can never be legal under any circumstances. These kinds of errors should be classified as impossible moves rather than illegal moves, regardless of whether it creates a legal backgammon position.

Rich, your reasoning is always well articulated and your above proposed rewrite is clear and (I believe) accurate.

So why (rhetorically speaking) am I left with this gnawing feeling that it won't be accepted/approved/implemented?
