I don't really care about the rule. The stronger players skill will win the game. Winning on stupid rules such as these is pitiful.
I suppose you don't stop for red lights too.
It's not a stupid rule at all. It's necessary. If it didn't exist, I would just play my variations out on the board. If I didn't like it, I'd just reset the board and try another variation. And if you say "OK, then a move counts once you let go, but touching it doesn't matter", then I'll just keep my hands on all the pieces.
My queen will take your rook (which I'll hold onto) then your rook will take my queen (and I hold that piece too), then my rook takes your rook (which I also grab with my free hand)...oh, but then your bishop can take my rook. Nevermind! [sets all the pieces back] OK, so my pawn takes your bishop....
And on and on.
Chess Is Not A Sport.
Yes is it as well is it a game.
Yea it's a game. Not a sport no physical strain.
My opponents always seem to forget to hit the clock after they move. It happens alot, but I have never been able to stop myself from calling their attention to it, even when they do it alot.
I forget sometimes, and so does my opponents, lol. We also write down the notation wrong sometimes, lol.
yea is a game also with a mental strain
But that's not classing as a sport.
