If it was an accident, then you are not forced to move that piece. As to wheter
qualifies as "accident", a friend of mine who used to be a tournament director
and occasionally had to deal with these kind of disputes told me, for him
touching the piece with three fingers is not an accident, but only touching it
with two (without grabing it) is.
