Hi Bob, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> 9.2 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when >> the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by sequential >> repetition of moves) >> >> a) is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and >> declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or >> >> b) has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move. >> >> Positions as in (a) and (b) are considered the same, if the same player has the >> move, pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and the >> possible moves of all the pieces of both players are the same. >><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >> >>so far it would mean that I am right... >How. Re-read (b). Possible moves are the same. But castling is not possible >in one. So how can that mean you are "right"??? sorry, excuse my bad english, but the above part that was what I remember about castling rules, I am not an organized chess player, I just play it for fun, so I am definitely not too competent in rules... so keep patience... -> in my opinion up to here I would have been right, because the "possible moves of all pieces of both players are the same" - Castlings are not possible, NOT in this position... But seems that those which wrote the rules have had equal thoughts then I and for that they added the following chapter to stop confusion... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en >> passant can no longer be captured or if the right to castle has been >> changed temporarily or permanently >><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >> but the next one declares that I am wrong... so all fine with me, because >> Quark is doing it correctly... :) so can you tell me now what I where my fault is in my statemant - as a concluson I DID write that I am wrong... -> or was it you who did not read the entire posting ? Greets, Thomas
