On "When to stop attacking"

Post by RobertJasiek »

Reference: http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... 72#p174972

Conditions for stopping / interrupting attacking are in Fighting Fundamentals, p. 138:

"[...]
- Any continued attack helps the defender more than the attacker.
- [...] immediate attacks [...] are neither available nor profitable.
- [...] gains can be made, but it is still unclear which is the best. [...]
- A different fight is more urgent."

Also see other parts of the book, such as p. 219+. In particular, implicit assessment for the last cited point is explained there.

Robert,

Why do you answer a question in a thread by starting a new thread?

Is this a requirement the admins placed upon you?

Simply speaking, to comply by the TOS despite its ambiguity.
