Hi Alois,

I was in this situation at a local tournament in our office where the players were receiving advice from other players (of-course we're all colleagues and didn't mind it!).

So my questions are can player receive ideas, either verbal  or even gestures during game play? or during timeout?

Hi Ganesh,

You can only receive advice between games and during timeouts not during the game.
