CHAPTER VI

CHESS RULES

I. The board must be so placed between the two players, that each has a white square at his right hand corner.

II. If a board is incorrectly arranged it may be adjusted, provided the error is discovered before either of the players has made more than three moves. When more than three moves have been made on either side, the players must continue the game without correcting the position of the Board.

III. The chessmen must be of a pattern in general use and any player may object to playing with men of a foreign design, provided the objection is made before the first move. A game once begun must be completed with the same set of men.
