tem·pi
ˈtempē/
plural form of tempo.
Noun
tempo (plural tempos or tempi)
- A frequency or rate.
- (chess) A move which is part of one's own plan or strategy and forces, e.g. by means of a check or attacking a piece, the opponent to make a move which is not bad but of no use for him (the player gains a tempo, the opponent loses a tempo), or equivalently a player achieves the same result in fewer moves by one approach rather than another.
- . . .
- . . .
Usage notes
The plural tempi is only used for the musical sense; all other meanings have the plural tempos.
Can someone, please, explain the concept of a draw? My games keep ending in a draw and I can't tell when one is about to happen. The last game I played I was Black and all White had was a Pawn with his King while my King had 2 Queens, a Bishop, a Rook and 2 Pawns. i had just turned my second Pawn into Queen and I expected to check and mate in the next few moves when the game was declared a stalemate.
!'d appreciate any help I can get on this subject.

There's no need for that...

Now, you have to take your argument to USCF, FIDE, and SCCF! Along with all the opposition, I'm not sure how Uncastling actually helps. You have to make an actually valid point in order to convince me.
To this moment, I haven't heard the pro-side make a legitimate case for a reason to castle. It may appear to be a convenience and a game speeder upper....but whatever the reason ?....what one side can do, the other can do, right ?
Also, if "turtle" castling was all that there was ?....then both sides would take time out to do so. Noting that there could be a limited myriad of patterns to make a King's fortress (currently there are (2)....fianchetto & conventional). As far as saying, "Well, it wires up the Rooks" means nothing. Connecting rooks has nothing to do w/ protecting the king. That's a byproduct of.
All I can deduce is that it's accepted convention & arbitrary & probably had a WOW ! factor back when it was first introduced. I surmise that some King & Court (along w/ other fellow feifdoms made it a standard).
Well, accepted convention isn't good enuf 4me & makes for a poor excuse !

There are a number of ways for a game to result in a draw. "Stalemate" is one where your last move (in the case you mention, that was when you acquired a new queen) does not put your opponent in check, but leaves him no move other than moving into, or revealing, check on his king.
While it may feel as though you deserve a "win" if your opponent cannot make a move except to move into check, it is in fact a draw, by the rules.
"Stalemate" was formally declared a 'draw' in rules in the 19th century. Before that is was variously considered a win, or 'half-win'.

....MY BACK POCKET !!
you can if you try
Uncastling might be good if u castled, and then ur opponent starts pawn storming that side of the board, and then u simple uncastle the king back to the center. Might not help that much though. Here's an interesting question, once u uncastle, can u RE-castle?
I don't like the idea. If you castle, you take the risk of a pawn storm. You have to have the skill and foresight to defend it.

What it all comes down to is that Uncastling a arbitrary no-no w/ very little, if any, substance. Substance that I cannot find reason for.
And isn't chess just that ?....for minds that reason ?

I will be lobbying to FIDE for NO. Since castling is a "one-time" move, then uncastling would be also.

imagine if pawns were allowed go backwards, i reckon that would really get joe public interested in the game, the rules are too antiquated.
