A move is completed once you have move a piece and released it. But you may= touch and move a piece and put it back at its original place.

That is correct, you have to be careful to always press your clock after playing. That has to be done with the same hand you played with (to avoid pressing the button before you actually play with the other hand when in Byo-yomi). > - if you put someone in check, you don't have to say anything. Also correct. If the opponent does not notice, you may take his king on the= next move. If your opponent is in check and puts you in check too, it breaks a r= ule and he loses the game. -- Mathieu GRANDADAM Shogi France - www.shogi.fr Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Get both the MiFi XM Satellite Radio and an Apple iPod for Free!=20 http://click.topica.com/= caadtaJa2i6YsbnuqMaf/ProductTestPanel=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------- --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: = shogi-l shogi net EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a2i6Ys.= bnuqMa.= c2hvZ2kt Or send an email to: shogi-unsubscribe topica com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=3DTEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
