Hi Ron,
Section II - Definitions
Advice
2nd Para
Information on the Rules ... is not advice.

Also Dec. 34-2/3
Q. If the referee observes a player about to break a Rule, may he warn the player and thus prevent a breach?
A. Yes, but he is under no obligation to do so, ...

And again that would not be giving advice.
Cheers,
Michael.

Hello Michael,

Apologies for not replying earlier. I have only just read your post, plus I do not like to see any post with zero replies.

I did infact correct myself,( on the lines you correctly stated), in my post timed at 1.14.
Your post was timed at 1.20, so crossed each other.
Hopefully, all is forgiven.
Regards, Ron.
