Excuse me for being dim here. If the player pressed the clock with the flag still up, how does it falling before his opponent's next move make him lose? Which bit of the Laws do I not understand?
His move was surely completed when he pressed the clock, the fact that an accidental knock caused the flag to fall is irrelevant?
