Death penalty
Or maybe just a spanking by one of his parents.
CHESS RULES
Sort:
Im guilty of the piece clock maneuver.
Yes, chess does rule!
Ok, I guess you could get an extra inch or two reach if you hold it out lengthwise, but then the button might glance off the round sides of the piece. So I'd say the guy's opponent needs more comfortable undergarments.
We have a long thread going about those bratty kids that refuse to be courteous. Solutions have ranged from adults-only tournaments to, as one poster put it, "extremely late-term abortion."
G'day all I was wondering in the rules of chess it clearly states;
rule 6.7b A player must stop his clock with the same hand as that with which he made his move.
At a recent tournament we had a person who would in the act of taking an opponents piece he would then with the pice in his hand press the clock with the piece.
Now i honestly don see a problem with this because at the end of the day the piece is an extention of the hand, but his opponent decided to spit the dummy over it and called a few names and made a protest.
HAs this ever come up in games or rulings at all ???
The other question is at the same tournament we had a 10 year old junior playing in an adult tournament spit the dummy and everytime he made a move he banged the clock, after being told not to he kept doing it and after losing the game he started setting up his board again and was banging the pieces one by one. He then was told to go outside and then proceeded to punch the wooden walls of the hall. This ended up with all games suspended until he was removed.
