Half a move??

nobody says 'half-move,' 'half-move' is incorrect.  this is a 'mate in one'  i.e. 'one move'  BigDogg, 50 move rule refers to 50 moves on both sides.  they use that term to place emphasis on the 50th move for a player 'white or black' to claim a drawn position.  if they said '100 move rule,' it wouldn't reference a particular person's 50th move.

 

'half-move,' however is non-sensical.  it is mate in 1, not mate in .5 moves.  half-move would reference the opponent's move after he has already been checkmated, which obviously makes no sense.

Sorry, your post is not coherent enough for a reply.

well that was a reply.  i think what is really going on is that you don't have a good enough reply or won't admit you are wrong.  but that is a great strategy to save your ego ;)  Feel free to ask me to clarify specific sections, but i know you won't Tongue Out  Instead just pretend my post made absolutely no sense or that you are 10 times smarter than me.

However, "Mate in one move" can mean either 1 or 2 plies. It's as correct as a joke problem can be.

If the joke is based on non-chess terminology, in other words, a changed definition of a move in chess, then yes.

Mate in one is always a one ply, because a player cannot mate himself.

In a retro, it may black to move and every move he has falls into a mate. 2 ply for a mate in one.

not much of a problem...

I bet you have never seen one.

1. e4 Nf6 2.Nf3 Ng8 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.Qf3 Ng8 5.Bc4: Now it is black to play and mate in 2 (plies). A very deep problem! I bet you cannot solve it. lol


On the other hand, if you're talking about self mate problems, I've seen plenty of those.

If it's going to be 0-0 as whites move the question is what the last black's move was???

I know what it is ... its Rook goes to f2 because we are in the middle of castling

I'd say you're in the middle of learning the castling move. Still some way to go!
