I have placed my enemy into check without knowing it. And so of course, I do not declare check. My enemy claims that he is able to move in any way that he wants to, because I did not call check. This other time it happened and during the time that my enemy was thinking of his next move, I said, 'check', just noticing that I put him in check. He said, 'if you dont say it when you make the move then it doesnt count. Now...if I didnt see it but he did, does that mean he can make whatever move he wants to? If I didnt say check right when I moved, does that mean he can move like he wants to. Lets say that neither of us notice it and my enemy makes a move that does not take him away from check, and THEN I notice it. Do we leave the peices to be or do we need to back track to correct the item. What if I NEVER notice the check, but my opponent does, he keeps it to himself and plays on with the move probably working to his advantage? Does that mean he just gets away with it? Well tell me if I'm right, because, this is what I told him: Because verbalizing 'check' is stated as 'not obligatory' (9-1). I need not request his moving out of check, and if I do, I can say it at any time. If a move other than pulling out of check is made and ANYONE notices and says something, everything needs to be moved back and the correction must be made. If I dont see check, or verbalize it, it means I was being negligent. If he notices his own king in check and decides to keep it from me the entire game then that means we was playing dirty/ or cheating? Please, someone smart help me, I want to prove my correctness in interpreting the rules. Post the answer to my questions on this message board or email at jg59810@appstate.edu
