I had an incident in the S N C L, I will not say which season nor whom I was playing. This particular opponent disappeared into the toilet five times in the opening eight moves. Whilst I'm not implying that they were cheating, I found this rather strange behavior. They could very easily (as could we all) have been checking out the various options on a hand held device before returning to make their move. How could we possibly prevent this??
On a lighter note a couple of seasons back in the S N C L, one of our players in his total ignorance of the laws relating to mobiles was sitting receiving and sending texts to his young lady ( I believe) and his opponent either never saw this or chose not to make an issue if it. He eventually won the game but could or perhaps should have lost for this offence. Would this have been a loss or additional time for his opponent??
