LAWS OF CHESS.
1. If you touch your man you must play it, unless that would expose your king to check, in which case you are only, when possible, to move the king : and so long as you keep hold, you may place the man where you please ; but once having quitted it, you cannot recall the move; though should any men be displaced by accident they are to be restored.
2. If you touch one of your adversary's men, he may insist upon your taking it; and when you cannot do so, then you are to move your king, provided that may be effected without putting him on check. |
