Subscribe or i will sacrifice my rook and checkmate you :D

[supermaximglitchy]

another rule is that you cannot capture your own pieces
chatGPT did that a lot of times

[xxchrklnxx]

now explain why the thumbnail move is illegal

[rogerabbott]

You forgot "dea dei cavalli" which is where a pawn freshly promoted to a queen can also move like a knight, but only to check the king and only on the turn which it promotes. It's also known as "il grazioso pony rosa della principessa" or "la bellissima principessa pony rosa."

[metou]

The reason why en passant was created was because originally pawns only were allowed to move one square.. but to speed up games they let pawns move two squares and made it so they can still be taken but only on the next turn... Changed the game a tiny bit because originally you were not forced to capture on the next move if the pawn moved the one space... Should be as long as the en passant can be played it should be allowed...

[TripleZro]

There was a legal move back in the day in which you could promote your own pawn to an opponent's piece

[tannerarmstrong]

They should add a piece called the Prince. You don't start with it, it can only be obtained through promotion. It moves like a king and a knight. If you have a prince you're allowed to leave your king in check. If your king is captured the prince becomes a king.

1:26 Wesley forgot the rules
7:50 Magnus crushes the opponents defense

[MarekMango]

abaut 18th rule : originally the peices were even ofter black and red

[Foungos]

You said the illegal move rule twice to make the video longer

[AlcyonEldara]

"draw by insufficient material" can actually means 2 different things.
USA: if you cannot force a checkmate.
Rest of the World: if a checkmate is impossible.

The only difference is King + 2 knights vs King. You cannot force a checkmate, but there exists checkmate positions.

Actually you CAN change the target position of your piece from one target tile to another as long as you DID NOT RELEASE the grab of the piece. Also, I've seen arbiters accepting adjusting touch as ok even without announcement if it's obvious that it was just adjusting, e.g. if the piece was obviously crossing two or more tiles so it wasn't clear where it is or the knight was not facing forward and the tough was not a full grabbing+holding+picking kind of touch. These things can be distracting in deep concentration.

You forgot to mention that it’s allowed to say “adjust” “compongo” or any language reference to adjust a piece so it’s not considered touched before moving

[hadyfromkeshmat]

Very nice video! I'm really enjoying these videos!❤️ I have a small correction though, there is a penalty for an incorrect 3 fold repetition, usually the arbiter adds time to the opponent.

[thomaslangbein]

One thing was forgotten: On promoting a pawn on the first or 8th rank, the exchange to any piece is allowed, except a king or remaining a pawn. You can thus promote your pawn to a piece of your opponent’s colour, theoretically checkmating your own king. It’s called the Japanese kamikaze promotion. It took place for the first time in 1964 between Tal and Fischer in Tokyo. Hence the name.

[williamsquires]

Corrections/errata:
Castling:
1) you also can’t castle into check, either.
2) you must move the king first.
Talking:
1) You can also call checkmate, since it is - by definition - a check, which you can call. I don’t know if there’s a penalty for calling checkmate if it’s not really checkmate.
2) You can say, “I adjust” (or the French equivalent) on your move. This indicates that you’re just repositioning the pieces closer to the center of the square they’re on, not that you’re moving that piece, thus, the “you touch it, you move it” rule doesn’t apply. 😊

Out of "Il vaticano" and the loss of the match for illegal move all rules stated in this video actually exist, however the loss of a match because of the illegal move is not directly stated in the FIDE laws of chess and will be treated as any other illegal move. Il vaticano doesn't exist at all

[lsgohgl]

7:30 did the guy in the background just capture a piece on the white square with a queen on a black square????

[juaneldesconocido]

Il vaticano is not a real chess move, just like the double fianchetto opening (which my friend always plays with people who don't really know the rules, consisting on moving both you b and g pawn to b3 and g3 in one move)

Stunning video, thank you for the basic tutorial of chess, we loved it

[superagaming_]

I started to invent my own chess variant and so far the only rule change i had was no switching sides between games but you gave me so much inspiration for rules to add to my version of chess weather it’s tournament exclusive or general rules for all basic versions
