Legal or not? if not legal, what is the rule basis?
Thanks.

Partner, I don't know what you're looking for. I addressed this situation earlier.
"He can't extend his arms/legs or otherwise move into A1's path if he's beside him. "

Adam, the kid said "...but B1 moves side way with A1 while still in contact with A1, keeps blocking A1's path." When you maintain contact and continue blocking someone's path, you're keeping him "from getting to where he wants to go."
