I strongly disagree and Uri's analysis is right. To be the champion of a given
game you just have to:
* play legal moves
* beat your opponents
It does not matter if you are aware or not of some rules as long as you play
always legal moves.
It's your opponent's burden to show you that ignoring some rules is a handicap
for you. If they are unable to, you can be the champion.
