Subject: fevga rule
Well, it happened again. I politely wrote and pasted the rule, but I guess she didn't understand me and wrote back to me in Czech (which I don't understand) and didn't comply with the rule.

Fevga (japajka vs. cd power)

cd power: It's happened to me a couple of times and if they don't accept the rule I just stick them on myblocked users list.

cd power: Where exactly have you “collected all [your] checkers onto the one point behind [your opponent]'s prime”?

Pedro Martínez: Again, it is the interpretation of the rule. I have one checker that was able to pass her prime (6 consecutive pieces) and has moved as far as possible, to the "1" on the bottom of the board. All other checkers are stacked on the 2... there are no possible moves to make at this point.

I think what you are getting at is that one checker was allowed to move as far as possible so now it is ok to block the rest, because the rule does not state "collected all [REMAINING] checkers..." so this is where different interpretations come into play.

cd power: Are the "official" rules for the game somewhere on the internet? Just kind of curious on the different "interpretations" of that rule.

For example, in the game - lets say that ALL your pieces except for 1 is already past the prime on the "1" space on the bottom of the board, and only ONE piece is trapped by the prime - would you still interpret the rule the same way?

".... but if opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move."


***Update - I started to post this before I seen the previous 2 posts ****

coan.net: very good point as well. Based on your question as well as playbunny's comments, it seems my most recent scenario that I posted does not qualify for the rule in question.
