Stretching the Laws

“The rules … the rules! Don’t break the rules!”

White Bishop (0’35)

As an International Arbiter, I have to agree with the bishop in this short animated movie. However, it’s always fun to play with the Laws of Chess, stretching them to the limit of their interpretations. Sometimes, reading the text too strictly leads you to some absurd situations.

Stretching the Laws section here on the 65th Square is dedicated to study the Laws of Chess in “our way”: light-hearted and often teasing, with fun, endeavouring a better understanding of the laws.

Wishing you a lot of fun!
