[blml] Law 58B2 revisited

[Robin Barker]

Those who are argue, do not argue that the player's choice of card to play 
is affected by the original intention.  Instead, they argue that the 
disposition of the remaining exposed card (not the one that is finally
played) that is affected by the original intention.  If the remaining card
is the card the player originally intended to play then that card was
exposed deliberately (as in playing to a trick) and is a major penalty
card, regardless of rank.

3 intended to played, K3 exposed, 3 played, K remains as major penalty card.
3 intended to played, K3 exposed, K played, 3 remains as major penalty card.
K intended to played, K3 exposed, 3 played, K remains as major penalty card.
K intended to played, K3 exposed, K played, 3 remains as minor penalty card.

(Or so say those who argue.)
