I'm not sure what the rule is now, but there was a time when moving the rook first was O.K., so long as the king move followed promptly.greenmonarch wrote:If I am not mistaken, don't you have to move your king first then your rook in an OTB game when castling?
PS: Beez, I'll take that all pawns game now if you still have the move list to set it up...

Nowadays, tournament players always move the rook first.
No, no no
the last statment is not vaild. The rules are quite simple.
The piece that is touched first as to be moved. Specially the case of castling in tournaments, where its enforced that the king has to move first prior to moving the rook.
Also this is enforced in any chess playing online.
The only exeption where a touched piece is overruled is when king is in check and the player moves another piece that does't involve blocking or getting rid of the check.
Besides its learning at is best (Capablanca said that he learned more from its defeats than from its victories).
And it showed; after losing the WCh against Alekine he was never defeated again in tournamnets until death defeated him...

I disagree. Capablanca lost quite a few tournament games after he lost his title, beginning at Bad Kissingen 1928, where he lost to Spielmann, and culminating at the AVRO tournament 1938, where he lost to Keres, Botwinnik, Euwe and Aljechin, and took next-to-last place!itsmenow wrote: Besides its learning at is best (Capablanca said that he learned more from its defeats than from its victories).

Ok if that is the case then ok you are right
Yes Ok maybe He lost some games but He never had the chance to
compete for the title ever again. So... this was alekine's fault as He died alone and forgotten...(He was very antisocial and weird opposed to capablanca)
So He took it to the grave...
there is an even more intriguing story of the best mexican player ever
is name was Carlos Torre Reppeto.
He was beating people like marshall and the like, then all of the sudden he lost all his might and guts for playing chess and retired around His 20-30 I'm not sure.

CARLOS TORRE-REPETTO
(born Nov-23-1905, died Mar-19-1978) Mexico
Carlos Torre Repetto was born in 1905 in Merida, Yucatan. He learned to play chess at the age of six, and in 1920 he went to the United States to attempt to prove himself against America's best players. He made his international debut at the Moscow 1925 tournament and placed fifth, winning his individual game against Emanuel Lasker. His chess career ended prematurely when he was stricken by mental illness a few years later, but in 1977 FIDE awarded him the International Grandmaster title based on his results in the mid-1920's. Torre was the first Mexican to ever achieve this title.
