Now for the good part: A1 decides to change directions and moves to his left and makes contact with B1 and displaces B1. What do you have?

I have a block (or nothing).
B1 was not legally in the spot that is now in A1's path. B1 is moving but was never facing A1....thus never had LGP and right to be moving at the time of contact even if it was lateral relative to A1's path.
If, however, A1 made the contact solely for the sake of making contact, I'll probably call nothing....tough luck A1.
