The Snodgrass ruling *is* a very narrow ruling and is to all intents and
purposes an /absolute/.
As much as participants, in this great game, which is played not only
here but in many countries overseas and around the world, would prefer
it not to be be so. It is.
The only advisory clause is the third party interjection, one. Which
should be obvious but it is needed to confirm the penalties heaped upon
the said third party.

Umm. I was, but I got distracted by a pair of little old ladies in
another thread arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a
pin (or some such irrelevancy).
Out of generosity we should allow Stephen his victory; after all, he
doesn't win that often despite his somewhat over the top celebrations.

Well, yes, it is, except when the above two rules are in effect. Cite:
"NF Stovold’s Mornington Crescent: Rules and Origins," page 3,642,
paragraph 3, clause 4.

Except when the third party is correct in his challenge. :P

Well, perhaps you're right - I mean, we *can* debate the rules a bit to
determine if it was a legitimate win, but if you're OK with it, then I'll
consider myself overruled (at least) and accept the win as well. :)

Well, yes, I was - I do that from time to time. But not when making the
risky move of crossing the diagonal.

But not, when they aren't.
It is true what they say. No sense of timing. :-P
