Side 32 - Chess annulled. CASTLING. The King can be Castled only:-- When neither the King nor the Castling Rook has been moved, and Where the King is not in check, and Where all the squares between the King and Rook are unoccupied, and Where no hostile man attacks the square on which the King is to be placed, or the square he crosses. In Castling, the King must be moved first, or before the Rook is quitted.
Side 45 - B's Pawn takes Pawn. 5. K's B. takes Pawn. Here you have played without due consideration. Black's third move of Queen's Knight to Bishop's 3d square was a bad one, and afforded you an opportunity of gaining a striking advantage, but omitting this, you have enabled him to gain a valuable Pawn for nothing. Observe, now, your reply to his third move was good enough, (4. Queen's Pawn to Queen's 4th square), but when he took your Pawn with his, instead of taking again, you ought to have taken his _King's...
Side 23 - It has been shown before, in speaking of the action of the pawn, that he is limited in his march to one square forward at a time, when not capturing, and one square forward diagonally, either to the right or left, when he takes an adversary, but that he has the privilege, on being first played in the game, to advance two squares, unless in so doing he pass a square which is attacked by a hostile pawn ; in which case the opponent may, at his option, permit him to make the two steps forward, and there...
Side 22 - J'adoube. — A French expression, signifying "I arrange," or " I replace," which is used by a player when he touches a man merely to adjust its position on the board, without intending to play it. (See the 7th law.) Minor Pieces. — The Bishop and Knight, in contradistinction to the Queen and Rook, are called Minor Pieces. The Opposition.
Side 45 - K's P. to K's 4th.* 1. K's P. to K's 4th. When the men are first arranged in battle order, it is seen ihat the only Pieces which have the power of moving are the Knights, and that to liberate the others it is indispensably necessary to move a Pawn. Now, as the King's Pawn, on being moved, gives freedom both to the Queen and to the King's Bishop, it is more frequently played at the beginning of the game than any other. You will remember, in speaking of the Pawns it was shown that on certain conditions...
Side 12 - The Queen is by much the most powerful of the forces. She has the advantage of moving as a Rook, in straight lines, forwards, backwards, and sideways, to the extent of the board in all directions, and as a Bishop, diagonally, with the same range. To comprehend her scope of action, place her alone in the centre of the board; it will then be seen that she has the command of no less than twenty-seven squares, besides the one she stands on. (See diagram No. 4.) * The original movement of the King, or...
Side 24 - ... Pawn, that he is limited in his march to one square forward at a time, when not capturing, and one square forward diagonally, either to the right or left, when he takes an adversary, but that he has the privilege, on being first played in the game, to advance two squares, unless in so doing he pass a square which is attacked by a hostile Pawn ; in which case the opponent may, at his option, permit him to make the two steps forward, and there remain, or may capture him in his passage in the same...
Side 46 - Bishop's Pawn to the third square— in the present instance, for example, you have deprived yourself of the power of castling, at least for some time, since the adverse Queen now commands the very square upon which your King, in castling on his own side, has to move. Black's last move is much more sensible.
Side 33 - A player who touches with his hand (except accidentally) one of his own men when it is his turn to play, must move it if it can be legally moved, unless before touching it he...
Side 33 - J'adoube," " I adjust/' or words to that effect, cannot protect a player from any of the penalties imposed by these laws, unless the man or men touched, obviously need adjustment, and unless such notification be distinctly uttered before the man, or men, be touched, and only the player whose turn it is to move is allowed so to adjust. The hand having once quitted the man, but for an instant, the move must stand. Men overturned or displaced accidentally may be replaced by either player, without notice....
