Oh, I should note in the collection above ...
My black bishop commanding the light colored squares is diagonally attacking the White king. There is nowhere for him to go, he must interpose a piece.
Unfortunately, neither his queen or bishop nor both in succession can do more than add additional playing time to the game. It is a forced checkmate victory for me regardless of what White does. In the actual game, my opponent resigned.
Chess rules 1: Touch move
If you’re thinking of entering an over the board tournament, you must, must, must understand the touch move rule. We cannot emphasise how essential it is.
Games are won and lost at a stroke with this rule.
So here goes… the rule states that when a chess player intentionally touches one of his pieces, he or she must make a move with this piece (of course, if there is a legal move available).
Chess rules 2: The 50-move rule
This rule is rather obscure, and rarely comes into play over the board or online. But sometimes if you are watching a Grandmaster match you might hear the commentators talking about it.
The rule states that you can claim a draw if there has been no capture and if no pawn has been moved in the previous 50 moves.
It is designed to stop endgames going on forever when one (or both) players have no idea how to end the game.
For example, in a situation where White has a bishop and knight left and is trying to mate Black’s lone king (a so-called “B+N endgame”) White may think he or she is winning. And they would be right, technically. A bishop and knight endgame IS a forced win… if you know how to achieve it.
Chess rules 3: The new 75-move rule
This is one of the newest chess rules, adopted in 2016.
In effect, it is just an extension on the 50-move rule designed specifically for tournaments so chess games really can’t go on forever.
Rule 9.6.2 states: “any series of at least 75 moves have been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. If the last move resulted in checkmate, that shall take precedence.”
Fide, the game’s world governing body which is responsible for setting the rules of chess, added the 75 move rule so you or your opponent need not claim the draw. Instead, an arbiter will enforce a draw for you (i.e. you don’t have to claim it).
Of course, an arbiter has to be present.
Chess rules 4: Three-fold repetition
There are five reasons why a chess game may end in a draw, and the three-fold repetition rule is perhaps the least known.
That’s probably because unless you are writing down the moves – as you would in a tournament – and have a record of the game then it is often difficult to work out when it comes into play. Occasionally, when there is a disagreement, you see arguments ensue…
However, the three-fold repetition rules is a lovely little resource to save the game if you think you are losing. Many losing games have been salvaged using this – so it is certainly a must-know!
This rule states that if the same position is repeated three times and no progress is made, you can claim a draw. So it’s very simple, you just have to keep an eye out for it.
