Knight's Gambit
Knight's Gambit
- 1. The movement of pieces is to be done with one hand.
- 2. In a serious play, if a player touches a piece as if having the intention of moving it, then the player must move it if it can be legally moved so long as the hand has not left the piece on a new square, any legal move can be made with the piece.
- 3. If a player touches one of the opponent's pieces, then that piece must be captured if there is a legal move that does so if none of the touching pieces can be moved or captured there is no penalty.
- 4. The time format will be 5 mins with no time increment.
- 5. Each round will be a knockout round.
- 6. For the final and 3rd place decider the same time format will be followed, and in case of a draw then a bullet(1min with no increment) match will be played.
- 7. A player who makes an illegal move must retract that move and make a legal move.
- 8. That move must be made with the same piece if possible because the touch-move rule applies here.
- 9. Players may not use any notes, outside sources of information, which include computers, or advice from other people.
- 10. Analysis on another board is not permitted.
- 11. Score sheets are to record objective facts about the game only, such as time on the clock or draw offers.
- 12. Players may not leave the competition area without the permission of the arbiter
