Thad: I think the spirit of part of the cheating rule is for the integrity of the rankings and BKR. If you gain no advantage from the help is it really cheating? In the golf example, yes it is against the rules to not count every swing etc.. but when it the score is not counted in a tournament or to compute a handicap then it does not matter and is actually an accepted form of play for many amatuers.
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
