An interesting thing can be said about this. The way to remove the entire
problem and simplify things could also be done by not allowing a drag to a
destination that can't be done in one roll - Period.

I know, I know there will people who might say that's sacrilege to say but
it offers a simplification of the interface, and removes all doubt.

It is easier for me to say that because I prefer playing all the moves
individually. So I can't say that this idea is unbiased or  would be well
received but since we are discussing it I thought I'd throw it out there.
