    A very much needed clarification. I myself took out my opponent's king when he did not notice the check and played some other move.
    But my opponent knew the rule and claimed that i had made an illegal move!

    As classical player has more time to analyse and check his opponents mistake where as in blitz it's more likely to continue upon the opponents illegal mone

    • @simpletongeek
      @simpletongeek 2 роки тому +1

      That's crazy. If the rook can take the King, it should do so. Why would taking the King be deemed illegal in the first place? Nobody questions whether the King was in check, so you can obviously go back to the previous position easily.

      @vikas Capturing the King ends the game. So is making illegal move. The rest of non-Fide playing public has no problem with this (time stamp 1:40). What's your problem?

  • @Barrosvbp
    @Barrosvbp 2 роки тому +5

    Very nice explanation, BUT, what if this had happened instead
    White pieces
    King in g7
    Rook in a2
    Knight in b6
    Pawns in c5 and c6
    Black pieces
    King in a7
    Rook in f8
    Bishop in a6
    Pawn in c7
    Then, the Rook in a2 takes the Black Bishop in a6 with check, and the Black Rook moves to b8 without solving the problem of the check in a6
    1. Rxa6+ Rb8
    In this case, after the White Rook takes the Black King in a7 (2. Rxa7, the illegal move) if the position is to be returned to that after 2. ... Rb8 (that is before the Black King is captured), the White Rook is then supposed to do a legal move, meaning to move anywhere along the "a" file, and that would be check mate whatever move is made.
    That means Black checkmated itself with the move 1. ... Rb8, which also seams to be illegal one checkmate his own King.

      Dear Mr. Barros, In the scenario you mentioned will dealt under another Article of Laws of chess concerned to Rapid & Blitz. The position you mentioned both kings will be on check by the last move of white. As per "A.4.4 If the arbiter observes both kings are in check, or a pawn on the rank furthest
      from its starting position, he shall wait until the next move is completed. Then, if an illegal position is till on the board, he shall declare the game drawn."

    Capturing the king is neither legal nor illegal; a game in any position where a king CAN be captured is illegal. The player who didn’t get out of check originally has made the illegal move.

  • @jonathanaugustine8270
    @jonathanaugustine8270 2 роки тому

    It looks like the black player deliberately made the illegal move in the first place. If that so is the case, shame on him. Lack of sportsmanship.

  • @DigvijaySingh-tu3yb

    The black player started the illegal steps first so he must be punished by law, it's like you drive wrong way on road and claim that someone from right way hits your car.

  • @NICOLEBELGE1968
    @NICOLEBELGE1968 Рік тому

    The explanation is confuse about the terms. The FIDE rule is unfortunately not clear and mentions that capturing the king is "not allowed". Playing a move with right hand and pressing the clock with the other hand is also "forbidden", but is not penalized as a "illegal" move. In past version of FIDE Laws of Chess, capturing the king was explicitely listed as an example of illegal move and in recent versions, this example has be removed, which should be considered as simply irregular. But clearly, the FIDE is guilty of leaving this question open.

    There are many players in this UA-cam channel. I heartily congratulate all those players.
    I want to ask a common question to all of you guys related to the game of Chess.
    And I want to tell this. That the answer to this question should be given by only those players who have played many outside offline tournaments on the board. Chess players who have more and more practical knowledge of chess tournaments.
    And have maximum knowledge of the rules of the game of chess.
    If you have good and complete information then answer my question.
    And I hope all of you players answer should be clearly correct.
    Whenever we go out to play any kind of tournament. And we have a match with an another player. And the time format is also good.
    After the start of the game reaches the middle level.
    As you all know that it is mandatory to have an arbiter in the tournament.
    So in this case you would ask the arbiter.
    The question is, with whom do you match? If that player is himself an arbiter. Or just a normal player.
    Then in that case if he has touched any piece. And you have seen. And when you do any type of Objection. Then that player may be an arbiter or an ordinary player. Doesn't accept your point. And an argument ensues between the two players. Then how would you prove that he touched the piece? What will be the provision of this?
    Chess game is played on the basis of *Touch and Move* all over the world.
    I hope from all of you players that all of you players will get me the best answer.

    • @nandychess
      @nandychess 2 роки тому

      The format matters because in classical writing down is mandatory therefore it's possible to go back to the last legal position. Whereas Rapid/Blitz are fast formats and there wouldn't be enough to know the truth so the claim is very important.

  • @wot_hog
    @wot_hog 2 роки тому +5

    This is crazy, for several reasons. By allowing the second irregularity to overwrite the first, the Black player is in essence now rewarded for his transgression by being allowed two consecutive moves, since the White player is forced to move his rook without capturing the King. Now the Black King is allowed to move and the game continues, but with the Black rook in a different position than it was before his illegal move. This is inherently unfair, and while it makes little difference in *this* game, it could potentially have huge material consequences in other positions and games. Secondly, the time penalty is no longer applied to the Black player (who, after pressing his clock only had one second left), and only the White player is punished with the time penalty, so Black is doubly rewarded for his illegal move, while White is doubly penalized!! Moral of the story: Never touch your opponent's King!
