I dunno. I was always more of an epee fencer. My instinct is R attacks, left counters, point right... but I just know that's wrong.
Man, foil was SO long ago.

I'll post the answer vid later this evening. Until then, others are welcome to take a shot, particularly those who are not currently referees. Try your hand at making the call.

FIE Referee Study Guide Foil A5 Exam; What happen is your call!
From the Fencing Channel YouTube site. You make the call, no cheating! This is a "would almost never happen in the wild" PIL. Attack right no, PIL established, counterattack left, point right. In reality the fencer on the right almost always flinches and loses the PIL. But in the example shown, PIL stands, touch right. K O'N

I agree. He took advantage of the fact that his opponent's only reaction to the attack was a retreat. This gave the fencer on the right the chance to establish and maintain his point-in-line before any offensive action from the left.
Touch and point for the fencer on the right.

I disagree with the two earlier posts. Attack from right, Parry-riposte from left, remise from right. The fencer on the right did one of my epee/saber/foil moves. He should have forced the riposte and parried.
I should have added touch left.
When I was posting this I saw Beau Brunson's quote on carding both fencers. I think I may have been in that bout.
I know I was in Beau's sabre bout when I was called for non-combative fencing. I was just moving very, very. slowly. Everyone reacted to that one.

Up until last year, Augie was right. They "clarified" the rule last May or so and said that if the attack ended with a line, the line was valid throughout the attack. Before that, the action would have been called right attack, no; left attack, yes. Really old school would have called left's action a riposte. A lot of coaches still do -- it's concise even if there isn't a blade action.
