I’ve had to get the chessboard out now to follow this. 
I thought I’d made a false move but seems ok. 👍

Goliath plays a good game chess and is way above me. However I find making a few very rapid and illogical moves causes him to take a swig of Vodka, if you can do that enough times without losing too many of your pieces then you just might be able to get him whilst his brain is fuddled.

You can if you're playing under Standard Birmingham Protocols with the Black Country Variation.  But only with the prior permission of the chair.

 

I thought everyone knew that.

Yes agreed, but I was referring to Stovold's 2nd amendment (1972) which would had put you in Nidd.

The Nidd rules were amended in 73 to avoid this offside trap
