The FIDE Laws Of Chess. The official rules of Chess from the World Chess Federation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]John Jackson's question can be answered by considering how you actually make a complete move in a game of chess. [1] Move a piece to another square. [2] Remove your hand from the piece. [3] Using the same hand, press the chess clock. A 'fallen flag' is evidence that you have failed to complete your move in time. Remember, there is no legal distinction between being one second over the time limit and being one hour over the time limit. Attempting to add special rules like: 'When you checkmate your opponent, you do not have to press the clock' will make a complicated mess of things.
