If they can't move you, you now stopped them from getting 8 points and because you are e-stopped, you can't get any penalties...

Well...not anymore...
Aha, that's kind of cute. Thanks for explaining. Nonetheless, I still see a lot of problems here:

I'm not convinced that this needed to be fixed. It's not the cleanest tactic, but it's clever and not a game-breaker.

I'm not convinced that it couldn't have been fixed without touching <S03>. Instead, further change <G27> to void the clause when it is being used as part of an intentional defensive strategy.

I'm not convinced that it's been fixed as-is. The same effect is still very achievable without violating <G34> and <G35>, particularly since the defender is protected by <G13>.
