http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Chess-Exercises-Lessons-Strategy/dp/1587368013 It makes a real nice change from other tactic books or sites because you don't know if the problem is a tactic or a strategical question thus making it closer to a game situation. | ||

But yeah, I didn't know there was a rule difference between classical and blitz in that respect. also in classical you're not allowed to move through/into check(same for castling). I don't know of any format in which that would be legal. | ||

I know it's also illegal, but apparently in blitz it means it's an automatic loss and not in classical (I guess you can just play again?). | ||

Actually, it's not just putting your King in check; other illegal moves such as putting your pawn on promotion square without placing a promoted piece or even impossible leap with a Knight or sth else lose too. I once had a situation where my opponent had his King on d8 and tried to castle long... towards his Kingside. Needless to say, I got a win and he didn't even object. The difference is that in Blitz illegal moves are autoloss, wheras in Classical and Rapid, the offender may be penalized by taking some time off his clock or adding it to the clock of his opponent. | ||

Rules are a little different depending which tourney you play in. Usually it's something between just making another move or a little time penalty. Also many tournaments have a limitation, like 3 illegal moves in a classical game and you're out. | ||

Anyway Carlsen is sole leader now, seems great. Also I hope that Karjakin would show a bit more fighting spirit here, he's losing left, right and center. | ||

I believe he could because the 50 move rule applies to blitz, but it requires the arbiter to keep check on the moves so that he would know if they're past 50 when Liem would have made the claim. | ||
