If you were pragmatic and cynical, then you would set logical
rules, announce them properly, let every programmer fall into
the trap once, and have only happy programmers during all
following events because they won't do the same mistake twice;)

Seriously, why do you fear implementation of simple rules?
When I set them in the European 13x13 blind tournament,
all players applied them very easily; during their first game
they had problems only with imagining the coordinate system.
