I Googled the answer: at the end of the 1400 century in Italy are the rules of chess, as we no the game today, made.
How old?
I waited the answer, but because none answered I have to find it self. I thought here is meant to discuss about chess, so why not about chess history. This is not so serious chit and chat talking area I think.
@spawkle529, there was plenty of point to post a chess related question on a forum of a chess web site. there was zero point in you being a knob but that didn't stop you did it?
petrikeckman, your question prompted me to look about on that question as well, amazing people played our game with the same rules for so long. and it survives easily.

A not too serious chit chat forum indeed. Luckily this post changed all that with one swift blow.

I think at least two posts are needed to make the thread visible on the forums.

Two posts to make it visible on the recent topics.
Still I dont know what was the last change in rules that maded in end of the 1400 century. I would like to know :) And actually there was text "Mainly same..." so some small changes have been made even after end of the 1400-century. What? Nothing is eternal, but it would be hard to believe that we still make changes in rules. And who would make them? International chess committee? I think one good change would be, that stalemate is a mate and victory, not draw.
Fischer suggested lot of changes. I think chess needs another round of changes. Not as radical as fischer perhaps, but some changes because theory seems to be dominating a lot especially at higher levels. I think fischer rightly identified the problem but I don't quite like his solution: Chess 960.
@Pulpofera: Learn what? ÖÖ? Where I have been oppositive?
@Ashvapathi: Interesting. I still don't know the rules of Chess960 but it could be played here so there rules are to find here too.

I simply meant that now that he has looked up the answer, there is no point in anyone telling him since he already knows. I wasn't being a "knob" as you call it.

- Opposition, a concept of endgames. Usually the side whose king gains opposition has the advantage. In a K+P vs. K endgame happens to be critical. The weak side will secure a draw in most cases by gaining it. Of course he would still lose without the stalemate rule you seem to hate so much, and the opposition would be meaningless, hence my commentary.
- About 960: there are no rules on madness.
@spakle529:
Who he? I looked the answer. None repeated my answer and told me. "Knob"? Who "you" calls what "knob"?
I wonder how yankees are so hard to be understood although their mother tongue is english.
@Pulpofeira: Here are rules of chess960: https://www.chess.com/learn-how-to-play-chess#960
How old are the rules of chess as they are today? Certainly they have not been the same so when have been made the last change and what that was?
