Molecules can touch other molecules. It's the nuclei of the molecule that won't touch one another. But if you wanted to get technical, "touch" as most know it, doesn't even happen on that level but on the other hand every atom is touching every other atom anywhere and everywhere all the time.
Well... there's still air in between each molecule
Or where gloves!

If you break it down to a quantum level, you're theoretically moving every piece of both yours and your opponents as well. If that's the case, whoever draws white should be disqualified after the first move for being too touchy touchy. I believe the "too touchy touchy" rule does exist in a sub section somewhere towards the far back of some rule books.
Merry Christmas by the way. Or just happy day if you're not a celebrator of such!
Actually, into order to put your hand on a piece. You have to move your hand halfway to the piece first. Then, from that point, you first have to move your hand halfway to the piece before you can touch the piece. From that point, you once again have to move your hand halfway to the piece.
Since there are an infinite number of halfway points and you can NOT do an infinite number of things in a finite amount of time, you can never touch the piece.
Note: This is a variation on the "Paradoxes of Zeno."
v sauce made a whole video on are we actually touching stuff
short answer was no
Looks like science + chess is a good combo

That moment where you weren't expecting a response, lol. 
Har Har Ho Ho Ho Funny Christmas!
The electrons still touch.

Or why not just move your hand the whole way once?

We're always touching everything, theoretically, on an atomic level.

lol, I know, I just couldn't stop myself though!

umm actually the atom reple (not attract, forgot how to spell repel)

This is true. If "touching" means that two atoms influence each other, then atoms are always touching. Two atoms that are held a mile apart still have their wavefunctions overlapping. In principle, two atoms influence each other no matter where they are in the universe because they extend out in all directions.

Sense molecules do not but what about spiritual particles and their associated energies? If an unusually powerful (for a human) psychic with a jostled particle bundle or other attunement used magical or spiritual means to pick up a piece, put it back down then move another what about that?
Are there unusually powerful psychics that are not human?
I think this conversation is too "sciency" and I can't follow along. I'll stick with chess.
C'mon, quantum mechanics is simple. Just think the opposite of common sense and you got it!
