If this was the final of an important tournament you would have been forced to notate the game, therefore would know the position.
I have successfully balanced 7 pieces 2 white rooks 2 black rook 1 white queen 1 black knight and 1 white pawn but i got chucked out.
Oh, and by the way, how did your execution go.
the adjudicators were very angry when i won the next game. a very convincing story by the other person
In Welsh tournaments you are strictly forbidden from touching an opponent's pieces except for:
1 Capturing;
2 In an emergency.
it was rule 2 an emergency, i was going to lose!!!
When I am in a losing position in tournaments I like to keep a small incendiary device in my Lidl carrier bag.
I deploy it in hopeless situations and during the evacuation I walk off with the opposing queen.
I invented a sticky handgranade that sticks to the opposing King - in the test I pulled out the pin and threw it but it stuck to my hand and blew my arm clean off.
Balance is key
and being good at chess is padlock
lord shut up dude.. stop spamming.
????? how is this spamming. you take a look at word association. 11000 pointless posts!!
He's just jealous because he has balanced no more than three pieces in competition.
oh okay. I wonder what the world record is
i heard somebody balanced 267 pieces using 17 white sets and 16 black sets
that would be no pawns then
In the final of the recent Macynlleth Masters of Mayhem Intercontinental I was in the final deciding game against the Welsh champion Dai Young.
He got off to a flyer and was a bishop clear despite my positional superiority. At move 6 I unleashed a counter-intuitivismism master-stroke and he was proper flummoxed. 45 minutes later and he had still not moved.
In the down-time I had managed to balance 5 of my pieces (Rook, Queen, Rook, Knight, Pawn) in a vertical chess tower next to his King. I was just attempting to complete the mythical sixth (a Bishop if you're interested) when the whole lot came tumbling down scattering the remaining pieces all over the floor.
Well what can you do - neither of us could remember the position so we had to start again.
Two questions chess brethren:
1 What are the specific rules governing such mishaps? If you can remember the position are you allowed not to start again?
2 What are the most chess pieces you have ever balanced during a sanctioned game?
