You're right. It was originally a "mate in 3" problem. Good job fixing it!

See the section "Offbeat interpretations of the rules of chess." This was technically within the rules of chess when the problem was created. I like the notation O-O-O-O.

To be consistent it should be 0-0-0-0-0-0, I think. One '0' for each square the rook moves.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. 6 O's make sense. I don't know why the author of the puzzle chose O-O-O-O except that it's different from and longer than O-O and O-O-O.

My e-pawn have gone up to e8 and been promoted to a rook. My king has not been moved in the game, so in my next move I put my king on e3 and the rook on e2.

How do you responde ?
After asking 4 of the top England coaches and many of FIDE's best abiters have all said this is a legal move. Not right but legal, away they go to find out.

read through the fide rules bud. In there it will tell you that the king and rook have to be on the same rank.

A previous poster goes to the trouble of quoting the actual FIDE article number that makes it an illegal move, and then you make this post? Sheesh!

Edit - And what does that say about four of England's top coaches and many of FIDE's best arbiters? 🙄

Renegade's previous post implied that they WERE asked by renegade.

"After asking 4 of the top England coaches and many of FIDE's best abiters have all said this is a legal move. Not right but legal, away they go to find out.

renegade"

Although renegade didn't specifically state who asked these people, the wording usually implies that renegade asked them. That was my inference, which imo, is a perfectly reasonable inference. If someone else asked the coaches and arbiters, renegade should have stated who did the asking.

If you know that as a fact, speak up. I'm not a mind reader. Otherwise, I'll stick with my original inference.
