    You mentioned the 75 move rule so I wanted to add fivefold repetition which is an immediate draw unlike threefold repetition where a player has to claim it.

    one obscure ruling about 3 move repetition, each position is the same if and only if all moves are possible. This is relevant because its possible for a position to repeat twice, then, one side loses castling privilege and returns to the "same position" minus castling right. That counts as a new position since not all moves were possible.

    One rule that if i remember currently, Nihal Sarin used to draw a game. He was low on time but on a completely winning position. So he stopped the clock and directly claimed a draw.

      Guidelines III. Games without Increment including Quickplay Finishes
      III.4 If the player having the move has less than two minutes left on his/her clock, he/she may request that an increment extra five seconds be introduced for both players. This constitutes the offer of a draw. If the offer refused, and the arbiter agrees to the request, the clocks shall then be set with the extra time; the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes and the game shall continue.
      III.5 If Article III.4 does not apply and the player having the move has less than two minutes left on his/her clock, he/she may claim a draw before his/her flag falls (see also Article 6.12.2). He/She shall summon the arbiter and may pause the chessclock. He/She may claim on the basis that his/her opponent cannot win by normal means, and/or that his/her opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means:
      III.5.1 If the arbiter agrees that the opponent cannot win by normal means, or that the opponent has been making no effort to win the game by normal means, he/she shall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he/she shall postpone his/her decision or reject the claim.

  • @Ulkomaalainen
    @Ulkomaalainen 11 днів тому +5

    3:01 is correct under US chess regulations, but not in other countries or international matches. An upside down rook would be considered a rook in any FIDE regulated match. "Anything else" would not be a move at all, possibly incurring a time penalty for pressing the clock without having made a correct move. The correct way is to stop the clock, call the arbiter, tell him you want to move the pawn to the 8th rank and promote to a queen (or any piece not available at the moment) and the arbiter would organize that you will get such a piece, then the move will be played and the clock restarted.

    also the touch move rule is actually a little more nuanced. the rulebook states that there had to be actual intention to move the piece. Of course, proving this when someone can just deny it is why in practice, we take the hard ball approach and insist you must move it but in cases where a piece is obviously accidentally touched like when retreating an arm and accidently tipping a piece over, touch move technically doesnt apply.

    • @Ulkomaalainen
      @Ulkomaalainen 11 днів тому

      This is very true, we had a huge argument during a team match, where one player was going to write down the opponent's move and accidentally touched his king while moving his hand towards his scoresheet. It actually resulted in a (very minor) fist fight between two other players, one of each team. The final ruling was that there was no intention to move, so the touch move rule did not apply. However, since the player accidentally touching his king behaved wrongly afterwards (I will explain in a second), the game was still ruled lost for him.
      What happened was, that the opposing player claimed touch-move and the player touching the king refused to do so, so he complained afterwards (it needs to be noted that at this match, as often at this level, no independent referee was present). However, due to not moving he lost the game. He should have made any move with any piece he liked and let the other side complain about this.
      Also the explanation was a bit wonky on that one. You are not required to write down moves if you yourself have less than five minutes on the clock. The opponent having little time does not excuse you from still writing down moves. Additionally, this is only correct in games without increments. In games with increments (there is a threshold of how many seconds, but in practice it is always met) you will have to write down all moves of the game at all times.

  • @Solitaire001
    @Solitaire001 6 днів тому +1

    The reason the en Passant rule was introduced was due to the change in the way a pawn moves. Originally the pawn only moved one square even on the first move. When the pawn's first move changed to be able to move one or two squares on the first move, players discovered that a pawn could avoid capture by moving next to the opposing pawn because that pawn couldn't capture it. The en Passant rule was introduced to give the player a chance to capture the piece as if it had moved just one square, but they must do so immediately and it is not mandatory.

    Some things are missing:
    You can only press the clock when you have stepped.
    Or with which you held the piece, you have to strike the watch with that hand.
    You can't make noise in the room where the game is taking place.
    The winner must always announce the result.
    If there was a draw, then both sides should go there.
    Once the hand has been played, the chessboard and clock must be set to the reset state.
    If you need to go to the bathroom, you can only do it at your own pace (time).
    At the beginning of a match, you need to shake hands with your opponent.
    When the match is over (whether you gave up, won, or agreed to a draw), you must also shake hands with your opponent.

    6:34 i belive its rather "side w/o sufficient material cant win", so the side that is losing on time can haveall their pieces bassicaly, but if they opponent dont its still a draw, also if both sides have insufficient material its automaticaly draw so neither clock can run out

    another thing, insufficient mating material means just that the mere possibility, so if you flag with two knights and king vs king, its a win for the two knights because while the knights cant FORCE checkmate, if the opposing king plays badly, it can happen. but this can get really weird.
    imagine an endgame where you have knight and king vs two knights and king. and the side with the two knights runs out of time. a knight and king can never checkmate a king but a knight with the the help of two knights misplaced can!

      The problem with not writing down moves would be that an arbiter could not reconstruct the game. One player simply could state that his queen was on g5 and not on f3, or claim that there weren't 50 moves or a threefold repitition, or anything else really, and there would be no way to check who is right.
