    They should add a piece called the Prince. You don't start with it, it can only be obtained through promotion. It moves like a king and a knight. If you have a prince you're allowed to leave your king in check. If your king is captured the prince becomes a king.

    The reason why en passant was created was because originally pawns only were allowed to move one square.. but to speed up games they let pawns move two squares and made it so they can still be taken but only on the next turn... Changed the game a tiny bit because originally you were not forced to capture on the next move if the pawn moved the one space... Should be as long as the en passant can be played it should be allowed...

    One thing was forgotten: On promoting a pawn on the first or 8th rank, the exchange to any piece is allowed, except a king or remaining a pawn. You can thus promote your pawn to a piece of your opponent’s colour, theoretically checkmating your own king. It’s called the Japanese kamikaze promotion. It took place for the first time in 1964 between Tal and Fischer in Tokyo. Hence the name.

    "draw by insufficient material" can actually means 2 different things.
    USA: if you cannot force a checkmate.
    Rest of the World: if a checkmate is impossible.
    The only difference is King + 2 knights vs King. You cannot force a checkmate, but there exists checkmate positions.

    • @ozelot131
      @ozelot131 5 місяців тому +3

      It's not the only difference. If you would lose on time but your opponent has not enough material left to checkmate it's also draw by insufficient material. If he has only one bishop or one knight it's draw in the usa but not in the rest of the world if you have material left. It's possible to checkmate e.g. with a knight against a rook (your king on a1 and rook on a2 vs king on c1 and knight on b3) so he would win if you have no time left.

    • @galois6569

      surely not all positions where you cannot force are win are automatic draws in the USA. There a plenty of positions that are drawn according to a table base, but should be played out by players. It is only a few extra table base draws that need to be added, like the two knights.

      @ozelot131 5 місяців тому +1

      @davidmellish3295 There are in every sport national rules. In football I think the field size isn't exactly the same in every rulebook.
      In this case it's FIDE rules 6.9 "if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player. However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves" In the US 13C.b "The player who properly claims that the opponent has not completed the game in the allotted time, and has mating material, wins the game"
      I didn't search for draw by insufficient material, but I think it's the same as when you flag your opponent. In most cases, it's the same, but there're some examples like my comment before where it's not the same.

      I was told the French term "j'adoube" but I believe any notification "I'm just straightening the pieces" etc must be acceptable. The idea is to avoid a person recanting a move. Obviously you could argue that straightening pieces on the back row (except for the knight) would be allowed when no legal move was possible. And most players straighten the pieces at the start of the game before the clock starts.

    Actually you CAN change the target position of your piece from one target tile to another as long as you DID NOT RELEASE the grab of the piece. Also, I've seen arbiters accepting adjusting touch as ok even without announcement if it's obvious that it was just adjusting, e.g. if the piece was obviously crossing two or more tiles so it wasn't clear where it is or the knight was not facing forward and the tough was not a full grabbing+holding+picking kind of touch. These things can be distracting in deep concentration.

    To add to your list: a player cannot "pass" their move. They are required to move even if all of their available moves are disadvantageous. aka the player that wants to pass is "in zugzwang"
    Also, a lot of amateur players aren't aware that you can "under-promote" a pawn instead of changing it for a queen at the end of the board. This is useful in niche cases such as when getting a queen would create an immediate stalemate, or when a knight could be used to deliver an immediate checkmate or king/queen fork to rescue a position. (and you can't leave it as a pawn or make yourself a second king)
    Adding a little history - the pawns didn't used to be able to move 2 squares on their first move. when that rule was added (to speed up the games), en passant was added along with it, to prevent players from abusing it to get around their opponent's pawns.
    Another rule (tradition?) that I think belongs here is one player holds a piece (king usually?) of each color in closed hands and the opponent picks a hand. that hand is opened, revealing the color that the picker gets to play Of course in tournaments, they take turns, but this is how who gets white and gets to go first is traditionally determined.
    Thanks for the video - I did learn a few new things. Namely, that the triple-repetition draw need not be sequential, that the 50 move rep can be declined, and I didn't know the 75 rep rule existed.

    Very good video. One important thing that you missed is that the 3 fold repetition is not just visual position. It has to be EXACTLY the same. For example, if I moved a tower from its starting point and then back to its place, then you can say it is the same visual position than before. BUT! Before that move, I was able to castle and now I can't, so it doesn't count as the same position and it can not be counted for the 3 fold repetition. This also aplies, for example, if the same visual position is repeated but the player's turn is different. You can not count thay as a repetition because it isn't the same game position, even if it is the same visually.

  • @williamsquires3070

    Corrections/errata:
    Castling:
    1) you also can’t castle into check, either.
    2) you must move the king first.
    Talking:
    1) You can also call checkmate, since it is - by definition - a check, which you can call. I don’t know if there’s a penalty for calling checkmate if it’s not really checkmate.
    2) You can say, “I adjust” (or the French equivalent) on your move. This indicates that you’re just repositioning the pieces closer to the center of the square they’re on, not that you’re moving that piece, thus, the “you touch it, you move it” rule doesn’t apply. 😊

      If you illegally call a win, you lose. This is common in sports, where if you score a point after being called a foul, your opponent gets the point.

    Just for completness: There are three types of casteling. The short casteling to the king side rook, long casteling to the queen side rook and an extra long casteling to a rook on the e file. For the last mentioned option a pawn has to be promoted on the e file to a rook and must not be moved as well as the king. If there is no check and the square in front of the king is not under the opponent's controle, all conditions for this extra long casteling move are obsereved. For white the king moves to e3 and the rook to e2.

    I.e. if white played, for example, 16.d4, then black can play 16...exd3, as it's the same "move"/turn, but it's illegal for White to play 20.gxh6 after 19...h5, as it's the different turn/move?
    It's really confusing, as I play chess for over 25 years and I never heard anyone speaking in terms of "turns". Can you explain what the "turn" in chess is? Thanks! 🙂

    we should have more meme moves, like my example, Belagarung der letzten rang (using online translators so it might not be accurate) siege on the last rank. where if a black rook is on the 2nd rank, or a white rook is on the 7th rank and for black another black piece is on the same file but 3rd rank and white same file but 6th rank, the 3rd/6th rank piece can catapult over its respective rook, but as soon as that's done the rook is turned upside down to note that it has been jumped over.

      "A piece on its sixth rank, one square vertically behind a rook of the same color, may leap two squares vertically forward. On the same move, the rook that was leaped over is turned upside-down."
      Does turning the rook upside-down have any effect on it?

      Fun fact: there was a time when FIDE would make exceptions to the fifty-move rule for certain endgames that took a long time to win. Eventually, they accumulated too many exceptions for their liking, so they declared, "You know what? If you end up having to deal with one of these endgames, it's your own fault." And that was the end of that.

      There are also much longer examples, over 200 moves, and we don't know the limit. For enjoyment reason we don't want people to be able to drag a drawn endgame on for that long and without allowing players to check table bases a line must be drawn somewhere. It is rare that these situations happen, but we can't make them impossible without drastically changing the game.

      There is an exception to this rule. The king may have moved if the promotion takes place on the 7th rank instead of the 8th rank. But castling has to take place immediately. It’s part of the same move. The notation is 0-0-7 or 0-0-0-7. So, e.g. the white king has to be on e7 and either the a or h pawn promotes to a rook and there are no pieces between both nor attacks on the squares between the king’s initial and end position, including these both (like on the first rank). It‘s called the Chinese Fast Promotion Castling. It was first officially played in 1987 between Karpov and Kasparov in Peking. Hence the name.

    8:00 That is not a rule. In a standard game, the position prior to the illegal move would be reinstated and the opponent would be penalized, the fact that you made a move is irrelevant. In a rapid or a blitz game, you have forfeited your right to claim the opponent's illegal move, but as long as the move itself was legal, you will not be punished and the game will continue, unless both players agree to correct the move without any intervention of the arbiter. I have no idea how the arbiter was thinking in the Carlsen-Inarkiev incident and the chief arbiter of course overturned the decision as it was based on a nonexistent rule. Also, intentionaly making a move to gain an unfair advantage would probably get you forfeited for bringing the game of chess into disrepute.

    You should be precise about the explanation of rule #10. Castling through check.
    You had said if they control "any square in between the king and rook". That is true for casting short/king side. However, in a long castle scenario, if your opponent controls the square immediatly to the right of the queen's rook, the king may still castle, since it's not passing through that square.
    Better to phrase it that If an opponent's piece controls a square that the King would need to pass through or land on, it's not permitted.

Or at least, that is how the person you're responding too seems to have interpreted it. But like you explained, a stalemate applies to any situation where you cannot make a legal move and are not in check. Including situations in which your own pieces prevent the king from moving.
      Although thinking about it, I cannot think of a single board position in which all your pieces are prevented from moving without the threat of moving into check. Maybe if your king is in the corner on the back rank with a knight next to it, 2 pawns behind it and all available positions for the knight occupied by blocked pawns. But that board position cannot come about by accident.

    A few things.

    3. You can checkmate by castling also. It is extremely rare and never has been done in a tournament game. All conditions apply.
    4. You can get a smothered checkmate while having only 1 or 2 pieces besides your king and being down by more than 10 or more point material. It is rare and hard.
