I always thought you couldn't castle if you had been checked, in a recent game I was suprised when my opponent castled after I had checked him, not that it mattered as it brought about the end rather suddenly in my favour. Is there a page on the site with the rules? Are there any other rules I might not expect?

Oh LOOK!
the secound paragraph.....
"Can you castle, if your king has been put in check in an earlier move but is not currently in check, and the king has not been moved?
Yes. Having been in check earlier in the game does not prevent you from castling, as long as the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. "

More questions to waste valuble forum space with as i'm too lazy/stupid to google 8) how many moves do you have to checkmate your opponent if he only has his king left before a draw is recorded?
more in certain circumstances eg K&2N v K&P
but if you can mate with those peices without using a tablebase (which isn't allowed) I will be surprised!

50!

I agree on the K+2N vs K+pawn.Would like to see that!

Originally posted by WulebgrYes!Your move is finished only when you have pressed the clock.
In a time scramble, my opponent hovers his hands over the board, moves his piece while my hand is moving from the board to the clock and depresses the button on the clock before I have fully depressed mine. Can I appeal to the TD?
Or that's how I am told anyway,never actually had it happen.

Yes!Your move is finished only when you have pressed the clock.

but you are supposed to press the clock with the same hand that moved the piece though, I thought.

Dunno about the same hand/piece rule.Sounds to me like a rule for blitz only though.

Originally posted by GorgarI suppose it was just a slip on your part, but a Bishop can never be in a position where it has the possibility of moving to all of the three squares e5,d4 and f4. That's not very important for the point under discussion. But what is vital is that once a player has let go of the man he has moved, he cannot alter the actual move on the board,

and if he has not pressed the clock button it is his time still running. You could politely point out that he has omitted to stop his clock, but a less scrupulous player will indulge in a bit of gamesmanship, not do so, and use his opponent's time for his next move instead of his own, and pretend to stop his own clock after his own next move.
