Martin0 vs the world - Event Chess Game #3

Not quite. That was a "bounce" event but it wasn't just the queen.

I missed a defensive resource.

I have a quick question about the rules for the "Occupying Multiple Squares" event. Is it legal for you to play 8. Bbc1.5 here? I assume it is, since none of the squares b1, c1, b2 and c2 are occupied by another piece.

But it says in the rules that all adjacent squares must be unoccupied when stopping between squares. Do all adjacent squares need to be unoccupied before or after the move is made? The bishop would technically occupy c1 before moving to bc1.5 and c1 is a square adjacent to where the bishop would end up after Bbc1.5.

Bbc1.5 is legal.

I changed the wording to "no adjacent square may be occupied by another piece" to make it more clear.

I'm fine with starting a new game soon. But first I want my draw offer accepted

I'm no expert on this, but after Qa3.5+, Qd6.5, Qxa7, which shoves the rook of the board, doesn't Qxh2 also shove the rook off the board? Black can still play unless I am missing something.

Pawn on e5 blocks blacks queen.

Oh sorry. I just popped in to see what was happening. I didn't see the world played e5, I was looking at the last diagram.

8.Qab3.5+ (=)

I think part of my question about Bbc1.5 didn't make much sense. I realized it right after I posted it but I'll just leave it the way it is.

The question should have been: Do all adjacent squares need to be unoccupied or just unoccupied by another piece? (You have answered my question now and I'm happy with the answer.)

The question should not have been if all adjacent squares need to be unoccupied before or after the move is made. Of course it's not after the move was made, since the piece doing the half move would technically occupy all adjacent squares after the move is made.

How about Bab7 after Qxa7? Normally that would be a legal move, right? Does the queen on a7 make it illegal because it is occupying "half" the square?

If the bishop can't go to ab7, then by that same logic,white's bishop can't go to de1.5, meaning after Qxa7, black can go Qxd4 and shove the king off the board?

Nevermind this, I read the rule more closely, this is garbage. But I still want to know is Bab7 (captures?) is legal.

Bab7 is not legal, the bishop can only occupy either one square or four. Also the queen being on a7 would make it illegal also, for example Bab6.5 is illegal, but it wouldn't be if all four squares were clear.

As for Qxd4, no, it simply pushes the bishop, and if the bishop has nowhere to go (which it does) it is simply lost. 

Well done for finding Qd6.5 in reply to Qab3.5+ though, I missed that and thought Qab3.5 was just checkmate.

Qd6.5 and Bde6.5 are the legal moves for black here.

Tug, if white goes Qh3 at the end of the line, does white lose the pawn or the rook? The way I understand, its the rook. Of course I know gxh3 would be white's move regardless

lol we all missed Bde6.5, and actually that's a little more playable for us. Still I'm pretty sure we're accepting the draw! Just waiting for Ry to make it official.

White would lose the pawn after Qh3.

The pawn.

Gotcha. I understand the events now.
