20 Chess Rules Everyone Should Know

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

now explain why the thumbnail move is illegal

9:45 that's actually mate

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...

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."

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

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.

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

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

"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.

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

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.

7:53 That’s a loophole right there.

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

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.

9:44 is not a draw, but a checkmate

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.

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

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)

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