cd power 
Thema: Fevga Rule
I'm not sure if this is where I post this, but can I get a clarification of the FEVGA rule for the following game. The rule in question is the 2nd to the last bullet: "It is allowed to build a prime (six consecutive blocked points) anywhere else (not in the player's starting quarter), but if opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move".

Fevga (cd power vs. TT2010)

Does my opponent need to move a checker, as all of my checkers stand on one point behind his? I have now had to pass already.

cd power: the bug is well known for years, I was in the same situation. My opponent declared (when given that info) that 'the system does not enforce it so I don't care'

Aganju: I've found that most people are happy to play by the rules and have moved when it's been pointed out to them.  If someone is refusing to abide by the rules and thinks it's OK because the programming lets them, then it ruins the tourny in my opinion.  I'd message Fencer with the game id, point out that you've referred your opponent to the rules but they won't abide by them and ask Fencer to end the game in your favour.

Aganju: Yes, my opponent thinks the rule is "unfair" and chose not to follow it after I pointed it out. It is a rare situation to have all checkers stacked on one point, and that is why most people are not aware of this rule. This is the first time I was the one with all checkers on one point, but it has happened several times where my opponents have stacked all of theirs, and I freed up a spot for them to have a chance to move. I believe you should always follow the rules at a game site if they are published... even if they are not your standard way of playing. Oh well.

cd power: I also had no knowledge of this rule. I think it's great that you proactively follow it - I'd suggest that when you do, you let your opponent know. Something like:

"Hi there. I'm not sure you're aware of this, but I was obliged to move one of my pieces since you were unable to move; this is a rule of the game that isn't enforced by the software. Just letting you know in case you find yourself in my situation in a future game."

The wording of why you were obliged to move a piece could probably be improved to include whatever the actual rule says.

Carpe Diem: Quite a coincidence, I just came up against this very situation, and made a different move than I would have previously. But I forgot to follow my own advice and tell my opponent why I moved the piece I did. :(

cd power: The bug has been "in force" since the implementation of the game. I recommend that the rules are not taken too seriously.
