YGT-Sports (Chess)

General Rules

• White is always first to move and players take turns alternately moving one piece at a time.
• Movement is required. If a player´s turn is to move, he is not in check but has no legal moves, it ends the game in a draw.

Chess Moves

• King can move exactly one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. At most once in every game, each king is allowed to make a special move, known as castling.
• General rules w.r.t. movement of Queen, Rook, Bishop & Knight will apply.
• Pawns can move forward one square and cannot move backward. If it has not yet moved, the pawn has the option of moving two squares forward provided both squares in front of the pawn are unoccupied.
• If a pawn reaches the opponent´s edge of the table, it will be promoted – the pawn may be converted to a queen, rook, bishop or knight, as the player desires. Thus, it is theoretically possible having up to nine queens or up to ten rooks, bishops, or knights if all pawns are promoted.
• Each Game will be of 3 Boards. Winner will be decided on the basis of “Best of Three”. A Coin toss will be used to decide whether who chooses white or black side.
• Both players will be given 1-minute time for making a particular move. If a player fails to make a move within 1-minute, he/she will be given a warning, and if the same gets repeated, the opponent player will be declared the winner.
• The en-passant capture moves the capturing pawn behind the double move pawn and then removed it
• If a player deliberately touches a piece on the board when it is their turn to move, they must move or capture that piece if it is legal to do so. If it is the player’s piece that was touch, it must be moved if they have a legal move. If the opponent’s piece was touched, it must be captured if it can be captured with a legal move.
• In case of draw or stalemate or if time control is over, the player having majority points of pieces on the board will be declared winner. 
• Each round of the match will be given 30 minutes of time control.
