i sent kristina an email, but for any other interested readers, here is the answer: <P> to answer your question, no, it is illegal to skip your move in chess. there are no exceptions to this rule. if you have a legal move, you must choose one. if you have exactly one legal move available, then you must play that move. if you have no legal moves, but are not in check, then that is stalemate and the game is a draw.
