Again, Article 10 Question Dear Geurt, Because of a draw claim under Appendix D, it has come to my attention that 10.2 does not state that it must be a player's move when he makes a claim. It is irrelevant to the actual claim made as that was in a position that looks clearly lost to me. I can't believe we intended to allow claims when it was the opponent's move. Of course, you are completely right.
Claims regarding the position on the board are only possible for the player who has the move.
We have to correct this during the next congress in Istanbul. Question Dear Sirs, I am member of the Arbitrage Court of the Swiss Chess Federation. I should be grateful if you could send me documentation about jurisprudence related to the application of the official FIDE Laws of chess. When we have new cases or we need an interpretation of the Laws, we change them. In these meetings, actual situations are discussed and sometimes the Rules Committee takes a decision about how to interpret a Law.
