Only if he read this thread.
Do you know if he did? I doubt it, I see this user has never posted in the forums, so I doubt they read the forums.
Do you dispute what I've said about games in progress? What's with the spinning eyes face? Explain what's so kookie.
P-
You accused me in your last post of knowingly giving advice, and helping and (cheating) and giving a advantage to him in this game. That's kookie to me because it never happened.
And then you question if he even knows en passant right after you claim I cheated by telling him all about it. I've never talked with Chuck. Kookie.🙄
I think it's very clear to most that I meant no harm and that I meant no foul with the help I gave in the help forum with the original post.

I think you shouldn't have, these threads often come up and players should figure out on their own, not be spoon fed the answer on a game in progress.
I wasn't trying to make you the villain here, I just don't think you should have answered the way you did.
Monty Moose seems to agree, but I could be wrong. Would be nice if the rule was more clear.

As I said before I was only trying to help and I meant no harm, and I certainly didn't mean to give any advice or advantage or cheat for anyone. I didn't see at the time that I was doing anything wrong.
Now I know that some have a problem with the way I answered his post. I will be more careful in the future.

Originally posted by PhlabibitAbsolutely.

The game is over and Hank's opponent resigned. I hope both players now know all the rules. 🙂
I wasn't trying to make you the villain here...

Originally posted by SwissGambitNo, you tell them to go read ALL rules like we've said earlier. What you are doing is Telling them the exact rule, and that's what I've been saying "NOT" to do.
Heh, if I can remind someone of the rules, I can do this:
[fen]8/2P5/8/8/3r4/8/2K5/k7 w - - 0 1[/fen]
White to move
"Remember, the rules allow you to promote a pawn to a Rook..."
...and possibly save the guy from blowing the win with 1.c8Q??? Rc4+! 2.Qxc4 stalemate.
Or are you talking to someone else?
What question was asked that you would ever give this answer?

If you can't tell the difference you need help.
No one helped or told anyone were to move or what piece to turn their pawn into to save a game in the original posts. The original poster thought there was a site glitch, He thought he had checkmate. I made a mistake and told him no you don't and I told him why due to a rule of chess. My bad. I didn't tell his opponent anything. Al tho there was a chance he could have read the post himself. My mistake.

I do see your point and I think you and Monty are mostly right. As I said before I will be more careful in the future. I'm moving on now. 🙂 And it might be by boat due to the flooding going on here. 😲 :'(

There have been a few in the thread who have insisted that 'players have the right to know the rules' - I am speaking to them. I'm in agreement with your take on the matter.

OK, I'll connect the dots for you.
Let's say the guy playing Black comes on here and complains about a site glitch. "I have checkmate - there is a bug in the site!"
Would you then inform him of the promotion rule?
[Can you see why it doesn't matter in the slightest that it involves a different rule than en passant now?]

What did I say in my last posts? You're beating a dead horse. I'm glad you're having fun with it even after the issue had been settled. And your hypothetical set pieces have nothing to do with the original game or problem, and don't even relate in this situation. Cheers.
