noRepeat - unhandyandy - 09-13-2020
Is it possible to forbid repetitions by one player but not the other? This might be necessary in asymmetric games; it is certainly required in most variants of hnefatafl, including brandub.

Hi,
No, our "no repetition" rules are for all players or none.
Can you point us to a rule set that allows repetitions for one player but not the other(s).
Regards,
Cameron

There's a discussion of repetition at
http://aagenielsen.dk/hnefataflforum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=112
The rules have been rather complicated, even subjective, depending on which player is the "aggressor". There's some movement towards making repetition a loss for White. In any case, repetitions are handled asymmetrically in most variants.
