Proposal:Ban book using for antichess

Antichess is already an almost solved game. Those that play white with Watkins' results should rarely lose as long as the opponent is not aware of this fact. Also I believe final solution of antichess will be completed this year so in the future using a book in correspondence games will make the game trivial. Hence this should be banned.

Just use your voting option not to play then?

Unless you want Lichess to deactivate their CCTV circuits, I'm not sure how you would stop people from reading a book?

I already do not even play any antichess since Watkins has reduced possible black resistance to two lines. Even these two lines have a white advantage and it is only months before antichess proven as a white victory.

The only response to 1.e3 is 1...b6. Even b6 is reduced to two very limited cases which are being eliminated.

So in the future antichess will still be interesting as a game between error-making humans, but books must be banned.

Just like checkers which have been solved, antichess will still be playable but explicitly without playing while reading a book or using a computer. You can not remember the entire book anyway.

So please do not worry human antichess players..the game will not die out.

Yes, I appreciate that big bogey in your nose that you've just picked was irresistible! Seriously though, how would anybody know if you're scratching your bum? That's more offensive to me than my opponent reading a book?

Well argued and reasonable point

Yeah but I probably stole an opportunity from a moderator to have a light hearted rebuttal.

Antichess has to continue as a game. We need to deal with the challenges that come from its eventual solution.
