Default Is a handshake really a big deal?

The first is a sort of "free speech" level; rejecting shaking of hands
is often a type of political speech. If players refused to shake hands
with Alekhine after his anti-semitic article, for example, I would
feel very strange about punishing them with loss of game.


It`s only a hypothetical possibility. As we know today A.A.Alekhine died in
murky circumstances after a boycotte by chess world.
