TO. Whom so ever Concerned I have a doubt as; 1. I have a rooke and Queen but my opponent is having only Queen with some Pawns on Both sides. If it is not possible to finish the game within 16 moves, whether the game is DRAWN or Who is Winner? @. What is 16 move rule? I hope you will help me in this regard & oblige. Thanks & Regards Avinash

There is no such 16 move rule. There is a 50 move rule, however, which says
that a pawn must be moved within 50 moves, otherwise the game is declared a
draw.

Gary Gifford wrote on Fri, May 12, 2006 06:51 PM EDT:
The 50 move rule is a bit more than what was recently stated regarding pawn
movement.  The rule makes the game drawn, if

the last 50 consecutive moves have been made without the movement of any
pawn AND without the capture of any piece (or pawn).

Thus,when a piece is captured (or a pawn) the 50 move count must start all
over again.

yes, but in chess variants the rules are different for every game. Are u talking about USCF Tournament rules? Typically in friendly games people commonly play that if one player only has a king left u must check-mate him in 25 moves or its a draw.

Gary Gifford wrote on Sat, May 13, 2006 09:36 AM EDT:
50 Move Rule - I was reffering to USCF and FIDE rules for standard Chess. There is no 'official' 25-move rule. A player can claim a draw when there is 'insufficient mating material.' When that is the case the game ends at that point, as a draw -- no continued playing for 25 or 50 moves... not even for 1 more move.

I wanted to know, when can a person CANCEL a game. I and another individual started a game of CHESS. Well then he said he wanted more time per move, so asked the moderator of the site, her friend to CANCEL the RATED game. He did saying that he did not legaly move 4 moves, so she could CCANCEL.. How many moves untill Cancelation is possible.. I thought it was four moves total??

I dont understand much about the 'Mad Elephant Chess'. The one thing I dont understand is about taunting the mad elephant. Could it be described better?

WHEN YOU ARE IN CHECK ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ATTACK

Jeremy Good wrote on Fri, Aug 4, 2006 07:04 AM EDT:
Yes, but only if you also get out of check at the same time.

Stephen Stockman wrote on Fri, Aug 4, 2006 07:20 AM EDT:
Only if you are playing regicide rules in 4-Way Chess

Stephen Stockman wrote on Fri, Aug 4, 2006 08:26 AM EDT:
why do u need 9 queens, 4 four queens will cover the whole board. no, u can never have 9 queens.

🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Fri, Aug 4, 2006 10:08 AM EDT:
It is possible to have nine Queens in Chess. I already knew it was legal, and to find out whether it could actually be done, I just played a game against myself with the object of getting nine Queens for White. I got all nine Queens, checkmating Black only when I got the ninth Queen. Of course, this required lots of cooperation between Black and White, and in a normal game where both players are trying to win, it is very unlikely that either player will ever have nine Queens. But however improbable it will be in actual games, it is possible.

I sent an e-mail to the General Contact address (with a link to a Courier preset I made) and I didn't get a response till now. Hos long does it take to submit material for the first time ?

Alison wrote on Sun, Oct 22, 2006 11:56 AM EDT:Good ★★★★

My question is:

Can a pawn capture two pawns if they are in a subsequent diagonal position. For example if there are 2 white pawns in 2 diagonal spaces can they be captured in one move with the black pawn moving 2 diagonal spaces in one go?


Gary Gifford wrote on Sun, Oct 22, 2006 01:37 PM EDT:
Alison:  No.  The first capture ends the move.  Your question could also be asked of Queens, Bishops, and Rooks
 for non-diagonal (orthogonal) captures)... and even Kings.  In all cases, the single-capture ends the move.

Can you move a king to the opponents side of the board and redeem a captured piece?

COMMENT METTRE ECHECS ET MAT, ET CES CONSEQUENSE?

ryan wrote on Tue, May 8, 2007 07:40 PM EDT:
i heard that you always have to trap the king in chess.if you put him in check and the opponent does not make the right move, can you just eliminate it with one piece?

Comment posted 2005: any thoughts since?

Dear Hans and colleagues

I was having a game of XiangChi with another member of our club and
dropped by to see what might be new on your site;
I'm so impressed with all the effort you have put in on the content and
quality of this and other games since I was last here.  Keep up the good
work!

I was also vastly impressed with the neat comments system.  Is that
something you've devised yourselves, or a package that you've found
somewhere?  I was just about to sit down with some colleagues here and
try
to implement something similar for our own website at work
(www.sheu.org.uk), but would prefer not to re-invent the wheel if I can
avoid it.  Is the PHP coding something you can point me to, or are
prepared to share?

Thanks very much

your sacrifices be sound in all variations
