[Retros] Three proposed changes to the Codexu

[joose norri]

I would suggest that most of article four (all of it, in my opinion) is irrelevant to composition. Some are absurd, e.g. 4.4.2. If a player having the move deliberately touches a rook and then his king he is not allowed to castle on that side on that move and the situation shall be governed by Article 4.3.1.



Deliberately?
        In the game this means e.g. that if a player's elbow happens to touch a rook while he is sitting down, with no intention of moving it, that doesn't count.



or 4.9., dealing with the necessity for an assistant. Should these really by part of the codex, in effect?


There is at least Liskowez's BG-logic (berührt-geführt), but that's always an added stipulation, not the default supposition.


Best Regards,

Joose Norri

Dear retro friends,

I am suggesting three simple changes to the Codex, for the upcoming WCCC meeting in Macedonia. There are many more changes that one could propose, but I these ones are hopefully not controversial. My motivation is to remove potential barriers to entry for newcomers. Please see the attached document, which details the suggested changes. Hopefully you will feel as I do, that these simple changes have been a long time coming.

I am grateful for any comments positive or negative, and will try to adapt the document accordingly.

Thanks for your time,
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Buchanan
