That’s why I insist that players should first contact the tournament judges. And let them figure out whether it’s a “bug” or “possibly a bug.”

So, you’re suggesting that players should bombard the tournament judges with complaints instead of the AK? And if someone isn’t satisfied with the judges’ answer? Will the AK be back on the scene? A questionable approach.

A much more reasonable approach is to have “rules that are simple, clear, and have only one interpretation.” Within this framework, a solution can be found by stating that “lag is the player’s problem.” Yes, in some cases, this may unfairly disadvantage someone, but the simplicity and universality here more than compensate.
