The rules aren't the problem. The problem is that the rules are unenforcable. Even if we are all gathered in the same room. The only way to prevent cheating there is for me to operate _your_ program and you to operate mine. And even that is not a guarantee that I don't have some sort of IR or RF access to my machine that you can't detect, to tell it when to move now or search longer... If a rule can't be enforced, it isn't much use... So it becomes a matter of trusting your opponent and having a good time...
