I knew a few people would get caught out by this one.
Not many people know that you can castle with Queen as well as your King.

The reason why you never see it is because it's a bad move.
Why do want your Queen on b1 instead of d1. (or b8 & d8).

You rarely see Q-Q or even Q-Q-Q these days but it's there
and is a legal move.

Stands to reason - if you can castle with your King then you can
also castle with your Queen.
Please don't tease the tards

Ah, that greenpawn, so misunderstood. Not many truly see the depth of his evil genius! 😀

I once put on Chandler Cornered that you can uncastle.
King goes back to e1/e8 and the Rook to h1/h8.

This was nearly believed by, amongst others, a player with a FIDE rating.

I say nearly, he asked a few players if this was true.

I think my best scam (to date) was 'proving' that Phildor was actually
a Scottish farmer called Andrew Duncan who fled to France in the
the 1770's. That caught loads of people including a much respected IM.

I once convinced somebody that you could move a pawn twice on it's second move if you didn't do so on it's first move.

And yet you persist in trying to convince people that the Isle of Lewis chess pieces aren't really chess pieces. When, oh when, are you going to give up on that attempted scam? 😛

Afraid that one is not a joke.

It's true:

The Lewis Chessmen are NOT chess pieces and they never came
from the Isle of Lewis.
