These rules may be obvious to some but:

1. Do not forget which pieces are yours...it is not necessary to defend your king from your own queen and knight.

2. Do not play chess prior to your first cup of coffee....your queen may be forfeit.

3. Do not allow male friend to nibble on neck while playing chess...again, you may forfeit your queen.

Feel free to add your own rarely spoken of rules. I need all the help I can get.

If I allowed a male friend to nibble my neck I think I would be a queen never mind forfeit one

A rule that people overlook, and this is a standard FIDE tournament rule:

If your opponent dies (literally) in front of the chess board, you automaticly get the win by default. And yes, this has happened once.

Harsh! It really should be a draw. If someone checks out during a game the least we can do is give them the half point...

What the FIDE says about shooting your opponent?

A co-worker once asked me this question, which unfortunately is not chess related. "If the batter hits the ball over the fence, and has a heart attack while running the bases so that he never gets to home plate, is it a home run and does his run count?"

Well, hopefully we'll never know the answer to that.

I believe that back in the 1930s or so there was a baseball player who hit a homerun and then slipped on first base and sprained his ankle, therefore he was unable to run the bases, so they simply had an alternate run the bases for him. The reason for making them run is more of a tradition then anything, sort of like how in NASCAR the winner will do a victory lap. Its just a chance for the homerun hitter to bask in his glory for a moment. πŸ˜‰

Maybe in one of those Old Timers games.

I believe if the base runner does not tag first base second base third base and home plate he may be called out. All you have to do is put the ball into play and throw it to the baseman and he tags the base in question and the base runner will be called out.
