Re: [pbmserv-dev] quoridor bug

This misses the point.  Accidentally cutting yourself
off doesn't affect you, it affects your opponent.  The
difference should be that trapping yourself should be
either:

a) illegal or

b) immediate loss

It should not ever be ignored.  I favor a) being the
default behavior personally.
