[edit] Merge into chess terminology

I am against merging this into chess terminology. The entries there are a lot shorter than this article. This article (and several others in chess terminolory) deserve their own article. Bubba73 (talk), 03:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OK. I agree.

Removing tag and linking terminology here!

[edit] Stub??

The article is short, nevertheless exhausting its subject. I remove "Stub". -- €pa 01:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

Shouldn't it be J'adoube instead of J'Adoube? Recury 17:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree fully. -- €pa 17:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starting

When is the start of the requirement to say J'adoube? Is it required before the first move is played? Perhaps there is no rule on this, but it's of slight interest as many times adjusting pieces on or just before the first move is common. ChessCreator (talk) 03:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

"J'adoube" is required before touching pieces to adjuest them. Bubba73 (talk), 04:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the question refers to before the game is started. This isn't an authoritative answer, just my guess, but I suspect that once the clock is started the game is officially begun and the touch-move rule applies. Before that you should be able to make adjustments without penalty. Quale (talk) 04:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, yes, before the game starts either player can adjust the pieces without saying anything. Bubba73 (talk), 05:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moved

I took the "J'adoube" article, added more information to it about the touch-move rule, and renamed it. And it has been updated in list of chess topics, list of chess terms, rules of chess, and elsewhere. Bubba73 (talk), 17:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blind players

Touch-move rule works slightly differently for blind players... GregorB (talk) 15:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
