The FIDE Laws Of Chess. The official rules of Chess from the World Chess Federation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Gary: Here's an odd question, related to Game Courier. Obviously, in FIDE Chess, few make illegal moves, unless it's a gross oversight. But, with Chess variants, illegal moves are not uncommon, say in Game Courier presets that are not rules enforced. Typically, illegal moves are just done over again. By tournament rules, though, the corrected move should be of the same piece, if possible, should it not? If one takes the initial move as equivalent to touching the piece? This possible confusion is a good argument for rules enforced presets in tournaments.
