Hi,

If any illegal move is made what is the penalty?

eg: If white makes 3 illegal moves - Black won ? or time is incremented for white every-time? or time is decremented for black every-time? [Before opponent replies]

How many times illegal move is allowed?

what is the standard rule?

Can any one help me on this?

Thank you

Official FIDE rules E.I.01A, Article 7, 7.4 a

"If during a game it is found that an illegal move, including failing to meet the requirements of the promotion of a pawn or capturing the opponent’s king, has been completed, the position immediately before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.13. The Articles 4.3 and 4.6 apply to the move replacing the illegal move. The game shall then continue from this re-instated position."

Official FIDE rules E.I.01A, Article 7, 7.4 b

"After the action taken under Article 7.4.a, for the first two illegal moves by a player the arbiter shall give two minutes extra time to his opponent in each instance; for a third illegal move by the same player, the arbiter shall declare the game lost by this player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves."

"game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves."

It means that in the scenario you described in your other forum thread, it would be a draw, but only if it is a completely drawn position even if somebody were to make a mistake.
