I don't listen to some of those
I still remember being able to so the En Passant move while playing against the computer on Windows 7, and was unable to figure out why it was happening or how it worked… until I saw this video. Haven't played chess in years, but I might just go back to it after seeing this.
there is also another rule, you can actually move 2 pawns at the same time but only 1 square and it has been taught by bobby fisher hope it helps the knowledge
The touch move rule is dumb
"A position that cannot be won, such as a king and pawn vs. king endgame"…?
1) You can not claim win after illegal move, not in classical chess. After the move was discovered, the position has to be restored and game resumed from the last legal position. Once upon a time, the penalty was that you had to make a king move if possible (There was a game 1. e4 e5, 2. Qh5 – illegal move that forced Ke7, 3. Qh5 mate), but it is long gone. The rule applies to blitz and rapid, AFAIK.
2) "No touch rule", better known as "piece touche", states that you have to play with the piece you touched or take the piece if you touched oponents piece. However, clearly accidental touches (with your slieve for example) have no consequences, except that you have to restore the pieces on your own time.
"King first" castling – there was an atempt to introduce this rule in 1990s. It was abandoned because in practice it was impossible to determine that the Rook played first and castling was clearly intended move, no matter which piece was touched first. Castling with both hands at once is still forbiden.
4) 50 moves rule apply in most types of positions. There are some types of position where 75 or 100 moves rule was introduced, but this changed over time and I don't know if there are any positions in which 100 move rule apply today.
5) You example at 2:55 is illegal. Black bishop – not even a promoted one – could never get to h8 with black pawn on g7.
The touch move rule also has other things.
Like, if you touch a piece that has no legal move, you have to move the king next.
Someone lost in three moves against Scandinavian because of that after e4, d5, ex d6, Qxd5, and white accidentally touched a bishop, which forced him to move the king to e2
3:02 how did that bishop get there?
3:03 how in the absolute hell did that bishop manage to mess up that badly
Google en passant
trump can't play chess
3:02 How did that dark bishop get there?🤔
3:02 How did that Bishop even get there?
3:02
How did the bishop even get there?
ahh yes my favourite chess rule, the opera song
(youtube section title
1:59
Useful to add that the two-squares-move for the first move of a pawn is there simply to accelerate start of play in a game but that it may not be used to avoid capture…
I like Morphy’s rules – enjoy chess and quit while you’re ahead – and never give up your day job: it interacts with many more types of people and ranges of life!
3:03 am i the only one who just looked at that position and got confused? Like how did black bishop got in a corner behind a pawn?! I don't know about legal moves but that shit must be illegal
In the tournaments I played you had to record every move unless you have less than 5 minutes left. I recall a king rook vs king rook endgame where my opponent had 21 seconds on the clock, he offered a draw and I accepted, partly out of respect but mostly because I didn't want to record up to 50 moves trying to flag him.
I knew all of these, what?
3:02 how did the bishop get there???
I won't be too hard on you since you just started learning how to play chess, but a few of those rules you stated were incorrect. You might not know this but there is no such thing as the "Rules of Chess". There is US Chess. There is FIDE chess. There is club chess. Some clubs allow touch move. US Chess allows touching both the rook and king to castle as long as it is simultaneous. FIDE rules state that the king must be touched first but US Chess is slightly different. It is also the same with the 50 move rule. Various organizations have different rules about what it means to get a draw from too many moves, and in particular the 50 move rule is somewhat different in some clubs in blitz chess. As for touch move, in FIDE article 4 it states explicitly "if the player having the move DELIBERATELY touches on the chessboard". If you accidentally touch the piece there is no penalty. For instance you reach for a drink and the cuff of your shirt knocks over a piece you can replace it and not have to move it. All organizations have this rule. There is no such thing as having to move a piece you accidentally touched. You can also deblierately touch any piece on the chessboard and not have to move it as long as you say either "Adjust" or "J'doube" before you touch the piece. As for the Magnus Carlsen incident, about the player DELIBERATELY moving illegal in order to claim a win. First of all this claim only works in blitz chess. Secondly, if a player is deliberately moving illegally in order to catch the other guy also making an illegal move, there will be a penalty of some sort for doing this. For example, in US Chess if you deliberately move your king one square away from the opponent's king and your opponent doesn't notice it, and then you claim a win for your opponent making an illegal move, the guy that was angle shooting will get the loss. In FIDE the arbiter has a lot of power to determine the outcome of deliberately shooting an angle of making an illegal move in order to get a win in blitz, and the rules have changed back and forth a few times, each time becoming more confusing. The end result though is the arbiter never gives the win to the guy who deliberately set up an illegal position in order to catch the other guy making an illegal move. The guy setting up this angle is the guy that will get penalized. In US Chess if you do this, not only will you lose the game, but you might also be dropped from the tournament for unsportsmanlike play. In the Magnus case, I think the penalty is reset the position and add some time to the clocks, but like I said the rule in FIDE changes a lot. Welcome to chess and I hope you stick with it. It's a great game.
3:03 how did the bishop get their?????
3:02 wait a minute how did that bishop get there?
Umm, in your last board, how the hell did the black bishop get in that spot?
I actually drew by 50 today against a bot 😂
how did the black bishop get there smh😂
I mean, these are all known rules, mostly even for beginners. Still, the explanation is nice, it can help new players
I hate to be that guy but… the position in the end is illegal anyway because the black bishop can't get there while the pawn on g7 is still there unmoved (unless this is a game of Fischer random chess).
PS: OK, after reading the comments – many people have noticed that! 🙂
What Inthe world is that bishop at 3:02
How did the bishop get there its impossible 3:02
You mentioned the touch-move rule but not j'adoube.
Literally knew all these rules, lol.
Move repition = draw
How did he get his bishop into the corner in that last stalemate position
i expected an anarchychess style meme and i am severely disappointed
At 3:03 how did the black bishop get into that corner? This is draw by illegal move rule first.
Holy hell
wait a minute, in your last example when showcasing the stalemate, how did the bishop get there?
We are gonna ignore the bishop in that corner in the stalemate example?
Nobody calls it "no touch rule" that sounds like its NNN or something.
some rules many actual players don't know.
3 fold repetition and 50 moves with no moved pawns or captured are not automatic draws, they need to be claimed.
But theres also a 5 move rule, and a 75 move rule.
At 5 repetitions it is automatically a draw, even if neither party claims it. And at 75 moves with no pawn moves or captures, it is an automatic draw.
1:07 You need the intention to move the piece, so no. There is even an opening checkmate where one of the steps is to ask your opponent to look at the fabric on the bottom of his king. When he picks it up to look at the bottom, you tell him that now, he has to move his king. However, he didn't have the intention to move the king, and you might get into trouble with the judge if you try to pull that one off.
The position at 2:56 is illegal.
wait.. how the fk bishop stuck there in last position?
cool clickbait
1:20 if you touch the rook, then can’t you just castle in reverse order by putting the rook in its castling position and then hop the king over
You forgot the one about a pinned piece still being able to cause check/checkmate even though it can't move. I had to look that one up once.
2:55 impossible that the bishop is there xD
Those images tho. We've all felt that way 😋
