I Don't See the Point of the Touch-Move Rule

Kaynight: I just baited mrhjornevik.

Did he mean whipped?

Allow me:

Troll or no troll, you are breaking a bunch of the site's rules as oultined in the TOS in your post.

It fixes the grammar problem, and it points out that TOS = Terms of Service.

This post clearly shows that the swearing in my earlier post was opportunity for him to point out, that, yes indeed, that I broke some rules. As if I were the first.

In addition to TOS, allow me to add YHJBT and HAND.

I'm guessing yhjbt is "You have just been trolled", but hand I dont know?

If you teach me that I'll learn you YHBRTTM

HAND = Have a Nice Day.

YHBRTTM

you have been reported to the mods.

Should have added ffl in the end. For faul language

No joke. I just had a guy send me a PM asking if I shaved my genitals. (edited)

How do you define "placing" a piece on a square?

"Touching" is easily defined and seen by the opponent (or even the guys playing their own games on the next table). If you have to involve a complex combination of time spent in the same position and distance to the center of the square it gets harder.

Why should I be offended? I just get a kick out of see people banned 

Yeah. I ban myself sometimes!!!

Let's jest get to the point!

Hi sweetie, you are under arrest for digging through old threads and bumping them. Put your hands on top of your head so I can tickle you freely.

Ever heard the proverb, "don't beat a dead horse"?

Americans say beat. I guess Brits say flog?

I believe Kaynight is Scottish. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the clarification, my lord.

Very well, don't flog a dead horse either. 

Just noticed from looking at earlier posts in this thread that MrDamonsmith's account was closed. Anybody know why?

If your oppenents hand keeps blocking your view it could disrupt calculation.

In casual games it isn't. I could play chess casually for 20 years, and it might never occur to me that a rule like touch move could be useful.

You can see an opponents reaction by moving your hand towards a piece and then withdrawing it?  So that's not touching it.

But It's not an hard move ... after some games u just think before touching pieces  =)
