Subject: Arbiter needed

I need some help from the XQ rule experts among you. Please take a look at one of my games. According to my interpretation of Chapter 21 within the Asian rules I am of the opinion that my opponent has to stop chasing my rook and play another move either instead of Ng3 or instead of Ni2. My opponent doesn't agree so I need someone who explains to him why he has to change moves, or someone who explains to me why I have to change moves. Thanks in advance!

kleineme: You don't need to refer to the Asian Rules. The BK rules clearly provide that:
“Perpetual chasing of an unprotected enemy piece is forbidden too. It means that a player cannot attack the same enemy piece (which is not protected by another enemy piece) moving to and from the same two points indefinitely. The player who causes such situation is obliged to break it off.”

Pedro Martínez, kleineme:
I have to agree to both of you. The asian rules are just saying the same like the BK rules, just more detailed for special situations. So in my opinion your opponent has to stop chasing your rook in this perpetual way.
