WhiteTower: "Let's just accept ..." Lol. Why? I'm having fun debating with Abigail and my guess is that she's enjoying it too. So are some spectators. Others are bored by it and some couldn't care less. That's just how it goes.

"Let's just accept ... Fencer's rules" I wish that people would, lolol. Perhaps you've missed what this debate is about. I'm saying that, for various reasons (see below), Fencer's rules include MDU, even if a bug prevents that rule from being enforced. So accepting Fencer's rules means accepting the MDU rule. But some folks disagree with that ....

If you play against me and do what BK allows you - ie. exploit the bug to gain an unfair advantage - when it's against Fencer's rules (and I have provided evidence of that) ... what illusions are you talking about? ;-)


AbigailII: The fact that the game doesn't enforce MDU because of a bug doesn't invalidate that rule. True, MDU isn't written into the rules explicitly, but, as I have explained, it is implied by the phrase in question. Simply saying that you "doubt that" isn't providing any additional information and so I'm keen to see you provide some inkling as to what illegal moves that phrase could be referring. This is a key point in my current argument and this is the third request for you to address it but you seem unable to provide an interpretion. Without that we cannot continue this discussion (much to the relief of WhiteTower and any one else who groans with the appearance of each message, lolol)

Note that the pass situation has nothing to do with this debate as it refers to the impossibility of making a move as opposed to there being alternate possible moves, one or more of which are illegal. ;-)
