See the section "Offbeat interpretations of the rules of chess." This was technically within the rules of chess when the problem was created. I like the notation O-O-O-O.

We are playing a game. I am white and you are black.
My e-pawn have gone up to e8 and been promoted to a rook. My king has not been moved in the game, so in my next move I put my king on e3 and the rook on e2.
How do you responde ?

Edit - And what does that say about four of England's top coaches and many of FIDE's best arbiters? 🙄

renegade"
Although renegade didn't specifically state who asked these people, the wording usually implies that renegade asked them. That was my inference, which imo, is a perfectly reasonable inference. If someone else asked the coaches and arbiters, renegade should have stated who did the asking.
