Agreed the first one to make an illegal move should lose. You cannot just say, oh well he didn't spot it it counts... that rewards mistakes and cheating. Now suddenly you are actually allowed to be a chess hustler at a tournement... that is not what classical chess is about. If you want your illegal move to count you go play street chess with a real hustler.
The right result was finally given. Magnus won. Do you really think he didn't know what he was doing? He was making a statement. If the judges can't keep up and see what's being done then why are they there in the first place? His move was only to make that point. However, he probably never thought he would have to appeal. Further ignorance on the part of the one judge.
Plus they're low on time, so Carlsen still played a natural move which is obviously illegal by default because all moves after an illegal move are also illegal. Even if it was ruled as Magnus losing, that's not how any honorable man would want to beat their opponent.
I find it weird at first, but after giving it some thought, I think the other guy’s argument made sense. Think of it like this, chess is like a simulation of war, and one of the common tactic used in war is diverting your opponent’s attention. So even if Magnus has a sword by his King’s throat, if he can divert Magnus’ attention and cause magnus to fail his mission, then it’s fair to say the dude won.
That first referee was higher than a god damned wind turbine technician for thinking that the most recent illegal move should be the one that's punished with a loss.
@@p0gr well, Magnus’ move was only illegal in light of the fact that you must take the king if you have mate. He just didn’t even realize it bc of the choice his opponent made
I honestly wish the rule was just to take the King if they miss the check. King gets taken, game over. Saves the headache of calling judges, reporting illegal moves, etc.
But tbh, imo, I guess you could say that we couldn't really do anything cause thats just how chess works. Also, it would be weird for us to allow others to eat kings. Kinda eliminates the purpose of checkmate.

I think historically (Sanskrit chess) taking the king was usually how the game ended. But if the king was under attack and had to way to avoid capture, it was good etiquette to surrender at that point, since it was a foregone conclusion. In chess variants (eg atomic) it's totally valid to kill the king, and you can respond to check by destroying the enemy king.

@@gehlesen559 We had a misunderstanding here. I am talking about that match in the video. I am talking about misplacing pieces. You are talking about proper chess etiquette, things that can easily go unnoticed. Once a piece is put at the wrong place tho, it's hard to ignore it. FIDE says in its rule 7.3 (under the article 7: "Irregularities") that if a player displaces one or more pieces, he must re-establish the correct position using his time. If necessary, the arbiter can be called, and he can penalise the player who displaced the pieces. Rule 7.4a says that if an illegal move is made, the game must continue from the last identifiable position. Clocks go back according to the arbiter's judgement (R6.13) and the illegal move must be redone with the piece touched (R4.3) R7.4b explains the penalty for making illegal moves: for the first and second illegal moves from that player, opponent gains 2 minutes. Third time, the player loses, unless the position cannot be won, which in that case is a draw. That's what I was actually talking about: getting the rules.

The rule absolutely HAS to be that the first illegal move is the one that loses. Otherwise, anyone can make an illegal move and hope that the opponent doesn't notice.
illegal moves only "count" if they're raised to the arbiter. after you finished you next move, you cannot do that any more. but magnus' move was not illegal. so the game just continues.
@@p0gr So you are responsible to notice that it's illegal? It's not illegal until you are caught? That's lame if it's true. This isn't crime. This is making an illegal move that is literally against the rules, and someone has to see it and report it before it's considered "actually" illegal.
@@jediprice70 hows that lame? its the fairest i can think of. since the games are not written down in blitz, i dont see another way. in regular chess of course the game is reverted to the position before the illegal move. but still someone has to notice the illegal move to initiate that ...
Honestly the game you're describing seems like fun. You're encouraged to be a bit sneaky. I'm not saying this should be tournament rules (some of these people specialise in playing blindfolded ffs, they'll spot an illegal move), but I do think it makes for a fun variant. We need to add in a couple dozen more things to keep track of though, to make sure cheating isn't blindingly obvious.
@@MarkusAldawn you missed the whole point of the comment here dumbass, he meant that the rule shouldnt be that the most recent illegal move loses, but that it should be the first illegal move that loses, what do you mean variant?
For those wondering: the chief arbiter didn't declare Magnus was the winner, he said the game should go on, and Magnus's opponent resigned. This was the right decision, according to FIDE's laws. Magnus' opponent made an illegal move, but since Magnus played a move after that, it's irrelevant. Magnus' move, however, was completely legal, even if the position was illegal. If Magnus had made an illegal move, he would have lost. And in blitz and rapid, you don't go back to the position before an illegal move, you just continue from the current position
@@hq3473 then Magnus would have made an illegal move, capturing the king is stated in Fide's rules as an illegal move. He would have lost the game, but no way Magnus would do that, unless perhaps to troll or something
But why is the guy saying "you can't respond to an illegal move by an illegal move"? Magnus moved the King out of danger into safe, what's illegal about that?
This is like when you and your sibling hit each other but your parents catch you and they say “Well, you’re in trouble because you caught doing it last”
Not taking a hanging king js the greatest betray of the ultimate and ever elusive objective of the game. And the ref personally was offended that Magnus didn’t take the once-in-lifetime opportunity to capture the king. Such a missed opportunity of the ultimate (although ever elusive) objective of the game is adequately described as quasi illegal. You just gotta take the hanging king. lol
Def think Magnus is in the right for several reasons: 1. That just reeks of trying to hack a win by manipulation cuz you know you’re toast 2. Magnus’ move was at least *half* legal, since we’re getting into that level of scrutiny 3. If you were to somehow play an entire sequence of like five illegal moves (like you accidentally move a pawn that reveals a bishop check and the two players continue to play regularly like it didn’t happen), there’s no way they’re gonna base that off whoever made the last legal move before it was noticed cuz that’s stupid, they’re gonna declare the whole line void and disqualify whoever made that first illegal move from the match
yall are incorrect. capturing the king is in fact not allowed because there is contextually no game state where it is ever allowed to happen. if you ever could capture a king, your opponent is in check and made an illegal move by not avoiding it. if your opponent could not possibly avoid it, it's checkmate and the game has ended. and if you are NOT in check and have NO legal moves because any move you make would PUT you in check, then the game is also over because of a stalemate. there is no situation where it is ever legal to take a king.
@@ElysaraCh but no one here’s being serious 😂. We know the rules of chess. But since his opponent made an illegal move it would have been funny if he called out his illegal move then captured his king.
Magnus definitely won that game. The only reason his move was "illegal" is because his opponent ignored the check, the move he made afterward was perfectly legal based on all of his own pieces
@@seyken3407 They both did illegal moves. Guy playing against Magnus left his king in check. Magnus didn't acknowledge or notify people of the check and instead played on like nothing happened. Both moves were technically illegal in that case, but one happened because the other happened.
This has the same energy of that one video of a basketball game where a team forgot what side of the court was theirs, scored a point against themselves and the opposing team responded by... also forgetting and trying to score a point against themselves as well.
Yeah exactly, that's what I didn't understand. If I check him and he checks me. I just take the king. It's like the last card in UNO. At least that's what my non chess player brain thinks
This is an illegal move, and should be undoed immediately when noticed. A chess game can never be won by taking the king. A checked king must always be protected in one way or another, even in a blitz game.
@@johnerickjoaquin6756 so if I miss that my King has been checked and do something else, my move just gets taken back? I didnt know that. So the only way to lose is when the king can not be protected anymore, right?
yeah no, because he moved it makes it impossible to appeal for an illegal move, but magnus himself did no illegal move so idk why Gotham is calling it illegal
That's exactly what i was thinking. How was moving his king (to D3?) illegal? Why would any ref who sees this think white did anything to disqualify themselves? This story doesn't make sense.
I'm also confused. Nothing about Magnus' move was illegal. Magnus was in check, he moved the king out of check to a safe square. You cannot capture the king, only checkmate. So it's not like he has an obligation to capture the king.
All I can come up with is there is a rule that states you must attack a king when it is your turn and it has not moved from check.. (aka you must win the game) but his move was instead to move his own king from check... Don't see how this would EVER be Magnus's fault though because that's only ever an illegal possibility if the other player made the illegal move of not removing himself from check.
@@CrypticCobra so there is a rule about capturing the king? Ok, still Magnus' move was only illegal because his opponent played an illegal move. The turn order alone should have resolved the issue.
That’s the thing I don’t know how it’s called illegal.i think he should have stopped playing and say refffffff! He made a faking mistake rather than moving out of check 😂
@@axeiawinter7872 so, since that means not complaining is an illegal move, can the opponent then complain about the illegal move? And if they don't, that'd also be an illegal move, so the opponent's opponent can complain about the illegal move being missed and thus the move being illegal? Ad infinitum
@@ralphrowbotham8137 Carlsen’s move was “illegal” because his opponent’s was illegal if someone checks you, and you can move out of the check you HAVE to do it. But his opponent didn’t and he “checked Carlson” making carlsens next moving meaning he could capture the king and end the game which if you can do that you HAVE to in chess, and carlsen could’ve taken king and win the game but Carlsen didn’t he moved his king instead of capturing his opponent’s king like in the rules of chess he would have to, which would make carlsen as winning the game because king is captured
@@SpicyTamato You're saying a chess rule is you have to capture a king if you can, even though it's literally not possible in the rules to ever get to such a position as the game would end by checkmate. That makes no sense
The one who cheated "appealed" tho I think you mean "got the referee" To explain, magnus move isn't illegal, he came off check. The problem is that his oponent couldn't check him without coming off check before, he did anyway, magnus let it slide somehow, which is in itself illegal, you don't let an illegal play happen without stopping the clock and getting the referee to read the moves
In yugioh if you make an illegal move you get a judge to come over, they will decide if the game state can be rewound to the point before an illegal action. If it can’t you’re given a game loss. I genuinely think this is the best way to handle illegal moves.
These boards already have digital move records connected to the clock. It should simply be automated to stop and have a warning sound when an illegal move is made.

@@jediprice70 hows that lame? its the fairest i can think of. since the games are not written down in blitz, i dont see another way. in regular chess of course the game is reverted to the position before the illegal move. but still someone has to notice the illegal move to initiate that ...
Honestly the game you're describing seems like fun. You're encouraged to be a bit sneaky.
I'm not saying this should be tournament rules (some of these people specialise in playing blindfolded ffs, they'll spot an illegal move), but I do think it makes for a fun variant. We need to add in a couple dozen more things to keep track of though, to make sure cheating isn't blindingly obvious.
@@MarkusAldawn you missed the whole point of the comment here dumbass, he meant that the rule shouldnt be that the most recent illegal move loses, but that it should be the first illegal move that loses, what do you mean variant?
That’s so idiotic. His opponent makes an illegal move and claim a win? Good thing the senior referee fixed it

For those wondering: the chief arbiter didn't declare Magnus was the winner, he said the game should go on, and Magnus's opponent resigned.
This was the right decision, according to FIDE's laws.
Magnus' opponent made an illegal move, but since Magnus played a move after that, it's irrelevant. Magnus' move, however, was completely legal, even if the position was illegal. If Magnus had made an illegal move, he would have lost.
And in blitz and rapid, you don't go back to the position before an illegal move, you just continue from the current position
Because I was wondering what's wrong with Magnus's move
What if Magnus captured the opponent's king.
@@hq3473 then Magnus would have made an illegal move, capturing the king is stated in Fide's rules as an illegal move. He would have lost the game, but no way Magnus would do that, unless perhaps to troll or something
But why is the guy saying "you can't respond to an illegal move by an illegal move"?
Magnus moved the King out of danger into safe, what's illegal about that?
Thank goodness because thats what I thought was the rules

Magnus did not make an illegal move. He merely came out of check.
It's illegal cause the only legal move there is to "take the king" to claim your opponent did an illegal move.
I dont get why the second referee gave Magnus the win, i think rules state that the last illegal move to be called out makes you lose.

King gambits (no pawns involved)
This is like when you and your sibling hit each other but your parents catch you and they say “Well, you’re in trouble because you caught doing it last”
Magnus didnt even do illegal move he was checked so he responded
Not taking a hanging king js the greatest betray of the ultimate and ever elusive objective of the game. And the ref personally was offended that Magnus didn’t take the once-in-lifetime opportunity to capture the king. Such a missed opportunity of the ultimate (although ever elusive) objective of the game is adequately described as quasi illegal. You just gotta take the hanging king. lol
Def think Magnus is in the right for several reasons:
1. That just reeks of trying to hack a win by manipulation cuz you know you’re toast
2. Magnus’ move was at least *half* legal, since we’re getting into that level of scrutiny
3. If you were to somehow play an entire sequence of like five illegal moves (like you accidentally move a pawn that reveals a bishop check and the two players continue to play regularly like it didn’t happen), there’s no way they’re gonna base that off whoever made the last legal move before it was noticed cuz that’s stupid, they’re gonna declare the whole line void and disqualify whoever made that first illegal move from the match

Magnus should have just captured the king. Idk if it's an illegal move but it would just be a boss move.
yea whoever king dies first loses in chess anyways, the "check, stalemate" rule is just stopping it.
😂that technically isnt illegal since the goal is to Capture the king and his opponent allowed it by playing an illegal move
yall are incorrect. capturing the king is in fact not allowed because there is contextually no game state where it is ever allowed to happen.
if you ever could capture a king, your opponent is in check and made an illegal move by not avoiding it.
if your opponent could not possibly avoid it, it's checkmate and the game has ended.
and if you are NOT in check and have NO legal moves because any move you make would PUT you in check, then the game is also over because of a stalemate.
there is no situation where it is ever legal to take a king.
@@ElysaraCh but no one here’s being serious 😂. We know the rules of chess. But since his opponent made an illegal move it would have been funny if he called out his illegal move then captured his king.
hey man sometimes a gal comes in and has to play the "straight man" yaknow?
This is why if you ignore a check it should just be considered an immediate mate.
Levy: You can't respond to a check by giving a check.
Crosscheck: Well....
Bro almost pulled a King sacrifice on Magnus there
underrated comment
Magnus definitely won that game. The only reason his move was "illegal" is because his opponent ignored the check, the move he made afterward was perfectly legal based on all of his own pieces
Definitely whoever did an illegal move first should be handed down a loss.
should just computerized all of the board and some sound will come out if you make an illegal move or something. I mean human very good at doing this.
@rgagregre …maybe, but that gives whoever got the last move a possible chance to find an opportunity to turn a round around.
why is magnus s move illegal?
@@seyken3407 They both did illegal moves.
Guy playing against Magnus left his king in check.
Magnus didn't acknowledge or notify people of the check and instead played on like nothing happened.
Both moves were technically illegal in that case, but one happened because the other happened.

If they don’t respond when you give a check, you should be able to just capture their king, because that’s what check implies anyway.
Yeah exactly, that's what I didn't understand. If I check him and he checks me. I just take the king. It's like the last card in UNO. At least that's what my non chess player brain thinks
@@d4-yeet688 that's how it works in every home game I've ever played but maybe official tournament matches have different rules probably
This is an illegal move, and should be undoed immediately when noticed. A chess game can never be won by taking the king. A checked king must always be protected in one way or another, even in a blitz game.
Exactly, you should check yourself before you wreck yourself
@@johnerickjoaquin6756 so if I miss that my King has been checked and do something else, my move just gets taken back? I didnt know that. So the only way to lose is when the king can not be protected anymore, right?

The opponent was the only one who made an illegal move. Magnus' move was legal: he moved out of check. The position was illegal, not the move.
yeah no, because he moved it makes it impossible to appeal for an illegal move, but magnus himself did no illegal move so idk why Gotham is calling it illegal

Everybody knows that if people start crossing at the red light, the first person on the street pays the fine.
All the Illegal Moves become legal when Magnus plays
Magnus is like: "King trade"💀
I don't understand how Magnus' response is illegal. It's not like he moved into a check
I'm also confused. Nothing about Magnus' move was illegal. Magnus was in check, he moved the king out of check to a safe square. You cannot capture the king, only checkmate. So it's not like he has an obligation to capture the king.
Exactly!!!! I don't understand either! Maybe it's illegal to play when someone does an illegal move???
All I can come up with is there is a rule that states you must attack a king when it is your turn and it has not moved from check.. (aka you must win the game) but his move was instead to move his own king from check...
Don't see how this would EVER be Magnus's fault though because that's only ever an illegal possibility if the other player made the illegal move of not removing himself from check.
@@CrypticCobra so there is a rule about capturing the king? Ok, still Magnus' move was only illegal because his opponent played an illegal move. The turn order alone should have resolved the issue.
@@leonduble6224 You are correct. Any move after an illegal move is illegal.
But Magnus’ move wasn’t illegal. He actually moved his king out of check.
That’s the thing I don’t know how it’s called illegal.i think he should have stopped playing and say refffffff! He made a faking mistake rather than moving out of check 😂
no. the position had already been illegal, with both kings in check. this meant Magnus had no legal moves at all, from such position.

@@axeiawinter7872 nonsense*
@@axeiawinter7872 so, since that means not complaining is an illegal move, can the opponent then complain about the illegal move?

What made Magnus move illegal
@@ralphrowbotham8137 Carlsen’s move was “illegal” because his opponent’s was illegal if someone checks you, and you can move out of the check you HAVE to do it. But his opponent didn’t and he “checked Carlson” making carlsens next moving meaning he could capture the king and end the game which if you can do that you HAVE to in chess, and carlsen could’ve taken king and win the game but Carlsen didn’t he moved his king instead of capturing his opponent’s king like in the rules of chess he would have to, which would make carlsen as winning the game because king is captured
@@SpicyTamato You're saying a chess rule is you have to capture a king if you can, even though it's literally not possible in the rules to ever get to such a position as the game would end by checkmate. That makes no sense
Magnus was low on time
"ah yes, I should win because I cheated and Magnus didn't make an illegal move and he only appealed"
The one who cheated "appealed" tho I think you mean "got the referee"
To explain, magnus move isn't illegal, he came off check. The problem is that his oponent couldn't check him without coming off check before, he did anyway, magnus let it slide somehow, which is in itself illegal, you don't let an illegal play happen without stopping the clock and getting the referee to read the moves
"I beat Magnus Carlson". Friend: "how, what was the position?"
Levy: What's more valuable then a king?
THE OTHER KING
Magnus should win that game because if the first person made a illegal move first,shouldn’t that person loses because they started it.
Did you even watch the entire video?
If i was magnus I'd have taken the king with the rook after the knight played check 😂
It boggles my mind why that isnt allowed
In yugioh if you make an illegal move you get a judge to come over, they will decide if the game state can be rewound to the point before an illegal action. If it can’t you’re given a game loss. I genuinely think this is the best way to handle illegal moves.
He should have just taken the king with the rook and been like “didn’t get it out of check and now it’s my move. I choose to capture”
But then probably Magnus would've lost his king too)
@@olegtrophymenko7037 no, game is over
These boards already have digital move records connected to the clock. It should simply be automated to stop and have a warning sound when an illegal move is made.
