>You've been asked not to mix legal forms of advanced chess with cheating. >With this mail you've done it again, although it's just in the subject of your >post. The subject was well defined as explained. Many will agree with the viewpoint that rules that cannot be effectively enforced should be avoided. Some even say that such rules contribute to undermining respect for the rules. The feeling is that the mark of good rules is effective enforcement. This is a powerful argument. However, there is another viewpoint I would like to express, namely that the rules aren't just a set of laws to enforce, but rather the rules of the game define the game. >Obviously that is done to provoke responses on your posts. What's the problem with that ? It resulted in a nice debate :) >Next time, if you want to announce an event, or want to tell us something with >your post, and want to keep it here: Don't make references to computer >cheating at all. Server authorities do this all the time. They criminalyze advanced chess players, it is an assessment, a judgment, all of which exist only in the mind of the accuser.
