The TD Show Episode 8 - Touch Move

This week's “The TD Show” topic will be "Touch Move" and will air at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific on Thursday, June 18 on the US Chess Twitch channel at twitch.tv/uschess.

The show will be hosted by NTD Chris Bird and this week’s guest will be NTD Harold Stenzel. We will discuss the various rules surrounding touch move, what does touch move mean, when can a claim be made, how do you handle such claims, how do you determine touch move versus accidental piece touches and any special rules for castling and pawn promotion.

For folks tuning in live, Twitch will provide some interaction between the show and the audience, allowing you to ask questions in real-time and we’ll also finish each episode with some light-hearted fun in the form of trivia based on the topic discussed. However, if you cannot tune in live, each episode will be archived in the TD Videos playlist at the US Chess YouTube Channel.
