Thanks, brief and concise explanations. A good refresher for the rules re draws, and I couldn't remember the name of the en-passant move. Without knowing the name I couldn't convince a friend that it was genuine move!

I have a friend from Africa who is French speaking. This is perfect to show him the game. Thanks!

Thanks very much for your informative site. We were having a slight dispute
regarding the queen side castling move, and your page alleviated our
concerns.

One point that I think should be made clearer, is the en passant rule.
Given the explanation provided, new players may be under the impression
that the en passant move can be made once per game, yet can be repeated
using different pawns.

This is not a criticism at all. This site is great for beginners through
all levels of players.

Thank you very much.

Although I am still rather fresh at the game, I have found your Chess
instructions to be very helpful and informative, yet concise. The
complementary board visuals were also a huge plus. I most definitely
recommend your site to all levels of Chess participants!


THANK YOU. Steven Adams, Modesto,Ca.

I don't understand the point of the last condition for castling.
'The King and rook must occupy the same rank (or row).'
Since the first two conditions already stated that neither the King nor
the rook have moved, aren't they guaranteed to be on the same row? Or am
I missing something?

Doug Chatham wrote on Sun, Jun 29, 2003 09:47 AM UTC:
I believe the point of that last condition is to prevent castling with any Rooks that are created on the eighth row by Pawn promotion.

ptousig wrote on Sun, Jun 29, 2003 09:54 AM UTC:
But wouldn't a promoted rook be the wrong colour?

Doug Chatham wrote on Sun, Jun 29, 2003 10:39 AM UTC:
No. <p>Consider the White Pawn in front of the White King. Suppose White somehow gets that Pawn to the 8th rank and promotes it to a White Rook. The 'same rank' condition prevents White from 'castling' his King with his new Rook.
