[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5280501, member: 18280"] I would agree -- intentionally lying is always a problem. But, if I honestly believed that all other forms of chess were inferior to, say, Hussar's Drunk Chess, then I wouldn't be unfair if I said "There are other ways of playing, but this is the best way." I would be [B][I]wrong[/I][/B], of course. ;) And since I am teaching to at least one minor, I would probably be [B][I]arrested[/I][/B] as well. :lol: But the minute you acknowledge that there are other ways of playing, you tacitly acknowledge that some people like those ways better than yours. Even if you do not mean to, or do not want to. IMHO, anyway. EDIT: About 1e rules questions: If your position improves during any discussion, even if that means you had to shift from your original opinion to that of your "opponent", you can't lose. You can only lose a discussion by holding onto a position that is shown to be irrational. RC [/QUOTE]
