On first sight I believed that this rule meant that in a game between A and B, A may not wander off, find a spare board, and use it to play out and analyse a particular line.

I do think this is actually the correct interpretation.

I have been writing those rules and I agree.

Regarding question of topic, no.
I play go for 30 years, and back in the day as a dan player you would know your opponents for a long time, and also cheating in go before internet was very, very difficult.

It seems you forgot to mention some ancient techniques, that are used in lightning games after few beers :lol:

After all, cheating is more ancient than the books and internet.
- casually move your hand as you are picking stones for your next move, take some stones from opponent's bowl, and put them into your lid
- play move near opponent's side, and with other hand move important stone that is obscured by other hand to more convenient place
- use similar technique to obscure move that you play in lightning game, and leave opponent to wonder where did you play.
Those stupidities are hardly possible to use in ordinary game, but it is cheating after ala :lol:
