From my perspective chi sao has no rules (outside of treating your partner with respect as I previously said). You should be free to do whatever you wish and often the best chi sao is experienced with those who are newest to the platform and do the unexpected.
Lut sao jic cheung, structure etc are concepts, behaviours and mindset that are implicit in all wing chun but in the same way as there is no rule saying you can't slam your fingers in a door when in the comfort of your own home you learn from experience that certain courses of action are more prudent than others.
I'm curious as to what rules you adhere to when doing chi sao?
