It is often rude to comment on the intelligence of other people on usenet,
but since this is the 5,000th example from this poster, let me affirm that
the sentence says, that just as touch and move commits you to moving the
piece touched, so would writing down the move.

I don't need to write more to this abusive fruitcake who doesn't give a damn
about chess, or telling the truth.

He gains attention by distortion. Period.
