Questions re this for John /other Arbiters :
In allegro I have saw many times opponents take the king and lose. Looking back I don't recall any of them actually press or stop the clock.
Is that your experience as an arbiter?
Also I was advised that clock must be pressed or stopped to lose. Can you confirm that they do in fact have to press the clock to lose? If that is indeed the case, that would suggest many results are unnecessarily been agreed as loses as they would have the option to move the piece or if illegal make another move.
