kind of off-topic, but this is wrong! in human chess, if one player makes an
illegal move and neither player notices it at the moment when it's made, but one
player or perhaps the arbiter notices it later, you back up to the position
before the illegal move. i've seen this happen in a swiss tournament. there is
the remote possibility that the swiss chess federation has different rules than
fide, but i doubt it.
