[Retros] More fun with rules

[Joost de Heer]

Oops, I missed 7.5b:

After the action taken under Article 7.5.a, for the first completed 
illegal move by a player the arbiter shall give two minutes extra time 
to his opponent; for the second completed illegal move by the same 
player the arbiter shall declare the game lost by this player. However, 
the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot 
checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.
