Touch-move rule move or capture the first of the pieces that they touched. If it cannot be determined whether he touched his own piece or the opponent's piece first, it is assumed that he touched his own piece first.

Dark chess Dark chess Dark chess is a chess variant with incomplete information, similar to Kriegspiel. It was invented by Jens Bæk Nielsen and Torben Osted in 1989. A player does not see the entire board, only their own pieces and the squares that they can legally move to. The goal of this chess variant is not to checkmate the king, but to capture it. A player is not told if their king is in check. Failing to move out of check, or moving into check, are both legal, and can obviously result in a capture and loss of the game. Each
