3:01 is correct under US chess regulations, but not in other countries or international matches. An upside down rook would be considered a rook in any FIDE regulated match. "Anything else" would not be a move at all, possibly incurring a time penalty for pressing the clock without having made a correct move. The correct way is to stop the clock, call the arbiter, tell him you want to move the pawn to the 8th rank and promote to a queen (or any piece not available at the moment) and the arbiter would organize that you will get such a piece, then the move will be played and the clock restarted.
You mentioned the 75 move rule so I wanted to add fivefold repetition which is an immediate draw unlike threefold repetition where a player has to claim it.
one obscure ruling about 3 move repetition, each position is the same if and only if all moves are possible. This is relevant because its possible for a position to repeat twice, then, one side loses castling privilege and returns to the "same position" minus castling right. That counts as a new position since not all moves were possible.
@fireball54110 That makes sense, they just used the wrong screenshot. So Black got flagged but White only gets a draw instead of a win due to having insufficient material.
also the touch move rule is actually a little more nuanced. the rulebook states that there had to be actual intention to move the piece. Of course, proving this when someone can just deny it is why in practice, we take the hard ball approach and insist you must move it but in cases where a piece is obviously accidentally touched like when retreating an arm and accidently tipping a piece over, touch move technically doesnt apply.
This is very true, we had a huge argument during a team match, where one player was going to write down the opponent's move and accidentally touched his king while moving his hand towards his scoresheet. It actually resulted in a (very minor) fist fight between two other players, one of each team. The final ruling was that there was no intention to move, so the touch move rule did not apply. However, since the player accidentally touching his king behaved wrongly afterwards (I will explain in a second), the game was still ruled lost for him. What happened was, that the opposing player claimed touch-move and the player touching the king refused to do so, so he complained afterwards (it needs to be noted that at this match, as often at this level, no independent referee was present). However, due to not moving he lost the game. He should have made any move with any piece he liked and let the other side complain about this. Also the explanation was a bit wonky on that one. You are not required to write down moves if you yourself have less than five minutes on the clock. The opponent having little time does not excuse you from still writing down moves. Additionally, this is only correct in games without increments. In games with increments (there is a threshold of how many seconds, but in practice it is always met) you will have to write down all moves of the game at all times.
One rule that if i remember currently, Nihal Sarin used to draw a game. He was low on time but on a completely winning position. So he stopped the clock and directly claimed a draw.

1:52 I had never actually had a stalemate before until recently. I had three queens while the other player had only their king, and it ended in stalemate. I was so confused lmao
Some things are missing: You can only press the clock when you have stepped. Or with which you held the piece, you have to strike the watch with that hand. You can't make noise in the room where the game is taking place. The winner must always announce the result. If there was a draw, then both sides should go there. Once the hand has been played, the chessboard and clock must be set to the reset state. If you need to go to the bathroom, you can only do it at your own pace (time). At the beginning of a match, you need to shake hands with your opponent. When the match is over (whether you gave up, won, or agreed to a draw), you must also shake hands with your opponent.
6:34 i belive its rather "side w/o sufficient material cant win", so the side that is losing on time can haveall their pieces bassicaly, but if they opponent dont its still a draw, also if both sides have insufficient material its automaticaly draw so neither clock can run out
I'm 550 elo right now. I finally managed to use En Passant. I knew I was going to lose the game if I did because he could literally take my queen, but the hardest decisions require the strongest wills. If En Passant is a legal move, I have to do it.
@ it would be nice if it was just something you could do if you wanted to. I wouldn’t be the kind of person who would enjoy writing down each move. I’d rather just completely focus on the board the whole time
The problem with not writing down moves would be that an arbiter could not reconstruct the game. One player simply could state that his queen was on g5 and not on f3, or claim that there weren't 50 moves or a threefold repitition, or anything else really, and there would be no way to check who is right.
5:07 I was playing a chess club and my opponent decided to give me the win even though they had a space they can go to while in check. that’s why they lost I did not know about that rule before watching this video
another thing, insufficient mating material means just that the mere possibility, so if you flag with two knights and king vs king, its a win for the two knights because while the knights cant FORCE checkmate, if the opposing king plays badly, it can happen. but this can get really weird. imagine an endgame where you have knight and king vs two knights and king. and the side with the two knights runs out of time. a knight and king can never checkmate a king but a knight with the the help of two knights misplaced can!
6:10 this isn’t completely true. If you run out of time but your opponent has insufficient material to checkmate (such as only a king and bishop), the game is a draw.
You are mistaken If opponent has a bishop and you have any piece(except queen) then he still wins as checkmate is possible The situation you are discribing is if opponent has no pieces and you run out of time(or if you ONLY have a queen and opponent has a knight or bishop)
Hey hello 👋. Nice video. But i have some questions:- I have seen players adjusting their pieces without saying any word (like magnus). Can you explain why? From which country you are? What is your name? Did you do any job? By the way, this is the most underrated channel i have ever seen. I watched some of your videos and they were awesome. Don't lose hope if you are getting less views, good things take time 😄👍.
Maybe it wasn’t their turns.. if it’s your opponent’s turn and you you adjust you can just do it because you cannot move regardless so it’ll be illegal
This is not a good chess channel @GPSHABRI he just copied off of the FIDE rule book if you want to improve at chess go watch Gotham chess not this rubbish channel just a little bit of advice

For threefold repetition to be able to occur you need need to make 3 moves that don’t have to be consecutive AND no pawn cannot have been moved
2:25 How is three pawns insufficient mating material
Yeah! Black is clearly in the winning situation
@agniswar3 exactly, even I could win with Black from there, lol
This one is, I think, timeout vs insufficient material.
@fireball54110 That makes sense, they just used the wrong screenshot. So Black got flagged but White only gets a draw instead of a win due to having insufficient material.
2:45 in this position you do not require any pawn. Only one Bishop and one knight is enough if you use the right maneuver.

0:30 You also cant castle out of check.
If your black and white gives you a check with the move rook e1 you are not allowed to castle.
0:35 ".. through or into check." You forgot to mention, being in check prevents castling, too.
4:02 are same colored bishops.
Castling - the king also cannot use it to move out of check
1:52
I had never actually had a stalemate before until recently. I had three queens while the other player had only their king, and it ended in stalemate. I was so confused lmao
It hurts
2:33 checkmate with 2 bishops is possible but might be hard idk
It is possible. You need to force the king into a corner, which is complicated but doable.
@@OrangeCat371 but just two bishops without the help of the king is impossible
@@loganyee5226 obviously the player with their bishops brings the king too
@@loganyee5226of course the "help of the king is needed. Same with having only a queen or rook on board when trying to checkmate.

Those also👍
Maybe, I should upload more rules then.
After using the restroom, a player MUST wash his/her hands before returning to the board.
Also, chess MUST speak for itself
As a virus, I want players to shake hands twice

Legend
1:15 but Queen is rook and bishop but combined, so onky knight is Stragetic
Liés, sometimes you have to promote to a bishop or rook to avoid losing or stalemate
@ if you need to promote to bishop, do Queen and go diagonal
@ with rook, same but go horizontal and vertical
@@Cyancloud13A dama ataca muitas casas, ao promover a dama você por fazer um empate por afogamento. Mas claro, é dificil acontecer todo dia😅
The queen can block squares where the king needs to go, causing stalemate.
I don’t like how you have to write all the moves down
