Don't feel too bad. You're in good company. Korchnoi had to ask an arbiter essentially the same question about the castling rule during the final Candidates match for the World Championship!

EDIT: too slow.... 😞 It's an interesting read.
Originally posted by Ice ColdI'm sure Korchnoi knew the rules of castling, but stress at that level was taking it's toll. Ever got put on the spot and blurted out something stupid that you kicked yourself for later?
Perhaps if Korchnoi had bothered to first learn the rules, he may have won the world championship. 😞
Originally posted by NordlysYes. I realize that's a bit over the top and that's why I said "I actually heard a woman say that". This particular woman wanted her boyfriend to marry her and thought this would do it. In reality, he skipped town and she never saw him again. She had an abortion shortly after that.
She was winning because she was pregnant?
I often wonder if she ever learned a lesson from that.

Darvlay will probably end up having an abortion, too.
