[Retros] More fun with rules

[Kevin Begley]

So, correct me if I'm wrong... you are saying that you can get away with a
draw, providing your illegal move captures all your opponent's mating
units....?   HAHAHA!

a) grab a pawn (any pawn).
b) sweep your arm across the board (leave nothing).
c) claim draw by insufficient mating material, or
d) when the arbiter reinstates the position, claim draw by repetition.

I haven't studied Bruce Lee movies carefully enough to attempt this.
