Or is it perhaps just the wishful thinking of chess playing philosophers and philanthropists?</i><br /><br />I argue that being able to "get away" with touch-move violations based upon gravitas is a practical skill. However, taking my notions from Aristotle, I do not find violating touch-move (or evenmoreso attempting to get away with it) to be morally virtuous.<br />Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-28676588428230937542016-05-10T14:54:27.362+02:002016-05-10T14:54:27.362+02:00Look at this film of USA kids (2200+) playing blit...Look at this film of USA kids (2200+) playing blitz.

Didn't Nepo complain exactly that, there was no intervention against Nakamura?

I see why in ordinary chess, but when you are moving as fast as your hand/synapses allow, the very chaotic nature of the ongoings would seem to lean toward leniency, especially as disputes can occur. Whether or not you pushed the clock, is not too arguable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
