  • Rules of Chess
    Rules of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rules of chess (also known as the laws of chess) are rules governing the play of the game of chess. While the exact origins of chess are unclear, modern rules first took form during the Middle Ages. The rules continued to be slightly modified until the early 19th century, when they reached essentially their current form. The rules also varied somewhat from place to place. Today Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), also known as the World Chess Organization, sets the standard rules, with slight modifications made by some national organizations for their own purposes. There are variations of the rules for fast chess, correspondence chess, online chess, and chess variants. Chess is a game played by two people on a chessboard, with 32 pieces (16 for each player) of six types. Each type of piece moves in a distinct way. The goal of the game is to checkmate, i.e. to threaten the opponent's king with inevitable capture. Games do not necessarily end with checkmate – players often resign if they believe they will lose. In addition, there are several ways that a game can end in a draw. Besides the basic movement of the pieces, rules also govern the equipment used, the time control, the conduct and ethics of players, accommodations for handicapped players, the recording of moves using chess notation, as well as procedures for irregularities that occur during a game. Contents 1 Initial setup 1.1 Identifying squares 2 Play of the game 2.1 Movement 2.1.1 Basic moves 2.1.2 Castling 2.1.3 En passant 2.1.4 Pawn promotion Game in a public park in Kiev, using a 2.2 Check chess clock 3 End of the game 3.1 Checkmate 3.2 Resigning 3.3 Draws 3.4 Time control 4 Competition rules 4.1 Act of moving the pieces 4.2 Touch-move rule 4.3 Timing 4.4 Recording moves 4.5 Adjournment 5 Irregularities 5.1 Illegal move 5.2 Illegal position 6 Conduct Staunton style chess pieces.

    V v v JiotipMfcAt Number 11 July 1966 Volume 4 THE CASES 0? THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - In the field of philately, even after many years, there are many problems which have defied solution. Many experts have tackled these Items, but complete answers are still lacking. The field of sports collecting is certainly no different. After all, isn't every sports stamp still a stamp from a country? Isn't a philatelic problem to a collec­ tor of, say, Austria a matter of concern to sports collectors if the stamps involved are the First and Second Ski sets? Now, If these problems involve sports stamps, shouldn't we, as sports philatelists, make a determined effort to help in their solution? There are a number of unresolved questions dealing with sport stamps. I have select­ ed twelve of these, which I call the "Dirty Dozen". I would like to present one of these to you to see if among us we cannot come up with an answer. Case 1: The Case of the Disappearing Cancellations In 1946 Albania Issued a set of seven stamps in connection with the Balkan Games held in Tirana, October 6-13, 1946. (Incidentally, "Landmans" and Seebacher label it the Tenth Games whereas "Schmidt-Schneider" call it the Twelfth.) Supposedly 50,000 sets were is­ sued. Certainly I have found no information to contradict this number. Mint sets are by no means plentiful, but they can be found. The current catalog price of §15.75 ($2.25 Per stamp right down the line) is misleading. Dealers who are up on the market charge from $15.00 to $20.00 per set, when they have them.
