It is allowed per FIDE rules, if a Q is not available, player promoting can pause the clock and find the Q or ask arbiter for Q

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

But the Q was always on his side of the table. Every player has an extra Q on their side of the table but he either didnt notice or chose not to notice.

queen was literally available, he went for it immediately, not like he didn't know where it was

chess has many loopholes and such incidents can help remove the loopholes

[@imam9938]

Harshit could have lost on time if he started searching for pieces. So what's the outcome of this match? Is it allowed to stop time and search for the piece, while pawn is queening?

[@LinkoLankao]

search ? the piece is right next to him you morron ???

[@attilaszijarto2633]

Fide Law of Chess 6.2.4. "Improper clock handling shall be penalised in accordance with Article 12.9." In that case the arbiter use 12.9.6 declaring the game to be lost by the offending player (the arbiter shall also decide the opponent’s score). The result is 1-0. Didn't lost on time, Didn't lost by forfeit, simply 1-0.

[@fabianram9702]

not with this low on clack, you can get time to stop, that unfair.

[@jona1575]

I'm surprised that GMs also struggle to understand the technical rules of chess. In this situation, I think it was his genuine mistake and did seem like he was looking for the queen. But if the rules actually prohibit stopping the clock to find your queen which is on the table, then unfortunately he just has to be better prepared with a queen when he's about to promote. It's nice to seem them having like an adult conversation/discussion though insted of throwing some hissy fit.

[@manmoth_1990]

I find the 0 point ruling to be a bit rough, but the arbiter has no way of knowing if it was done with bad intent (although it most likely wasn't in this case). There is a reason there are extra queens placed on the side of the boards. It is the player's responsibility to navigate through time trouble and orient themselves and perform promotion correctly. This is why you often see people grabbing the queen from the side a few moves before an eventual promotion. Personally, I never promote by pushing the pawn, then removing it, then grabbing the queen, then replacing it. Removing the pawn from the 7nd rank and inserting a queen on the 8th (or in the reverse order), is far less time consuming, and most OTB blitz players I know do it this way, even at 1800-2000 level. This is possible to do in 1 second, but it requires the presence of mind and good mental and physical coordination and awareness.

[@Flame-chess]

It’s illegal to teleport the pawn off the board and for a queen to appear on 8th rank depending under what rules you are playing. That is probably why

[@MasterInHD]

@@Flame-chessThat’s only in Classical

[@amrutharun3681]

Yet another loop hole! Jist of the video, GM Harshit was winning with his pawn promoting to a queen, but he had less than 2 seconds on the clock. Mind it that the Harshit’s new queen was near the opponent, so he played the pawn to 8th rank and stop the clock to grab the queen. The arbiter said that a player cant stop the clock at any point. Another person is saying that the only way to tackle this situation was to make an illegal move, atleast Harshit would be winning back then!

[@hisanthu]

If it was Magnus he would have awarded with Win!

[@CA-oe1ok]

Exactly! Magnus would make a scene out of it and strongarm FIDE into changing rules.

[@MovieRundowns]

This seems like it could be abused by the opponent. What if they place the Queen far away or even stash it away in their pocket or "accidentally" knock it on the ground so the person promoting has to waste time.

[@MemeConnoisseur]

Millions of over the board games and people still find edge cases

[@honda3253]

This is not the scenario to stop the clock except you have legit reason require Arbiter's intervention. In this case the Queen obviously just next to the board. Can't imagine this can occur at GM level.

[@113_kunalsapkal3]

Thats really an interesting thing to think about. I mean if a player is in time pressure and wants to promote something but the piece is not in his hand or not at his side of play he still should be able to call an arbiter requesting for the piece

[@astlinj]

here are the rules Yes, according to FIDE rules, a player can pause the clock in chess before promoting a pawn to request the arbiter's assistance if the necessary piece for promotion is not available on the board; this means you can technically "pause the clock before promotion" in such situations to get the correct piece to promote to. Key points to remember: Only with arbiter intervention: You can only pause the clock to request a piece for promotion, and this must be done by calling the arbiter over. Not a delay tactic: Pausing the clock to deliberate on which piece to promote is not allowed. Legal move: If you need to pause the clock to get the correct piece, the move will be considered a legal promotion

[@Alokary07]

It's a blitz game, you don't have time to ask the arbiter.

[@alwysrite]

stopping the clock to select a piece is illegal because it might give a player time to think what kind of piece they promote to. Not everyone promotes to a queen. Also, he had a queen right next to him on the left and it is all part of blitz to act and think quickly so any illegal time advantage can have a major impact. And yes, if a piece is not available then they can stop to call the arbiter.

[@fabianram9702]

all correct but. if you that low and can't find the peice you can stop the clock as it give you more time. Only if opponent hiddes the peice what happen in Canada.

[@UjwalRam]

Interesting puzzle. Seems like chess wizards are trying to solve the - how to get the queen without wasting time in the game.

you can not stop the clock to get out of flagging, running out of time. that rule is in slow chess with more time. this player was trying to get and unfair advantage. unsportsmanship. Comon sence.

[@ChalChitra3chitra3]

[@bestoptimizer08]

It's a good idea to keep the Queen ready a bit early. Most players do it. Harshit had no wrong intentions. It was just pure reflex, it looks like. (Where's the Queen? I stop the clock and look but he reversed the order, placed and then stopped the clock).

[@ksp00007]

9:03 @AnishGiriOfficial tell us your view here.....is this has a potential to be call as another controversy?

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

I don't thnk Harshit was being entirely upfront here. Every player is given an extra queen at the start of the game in case of pawn promotion.. And Harshit's queen was actually on his side of the table near him (not "far away") so he didnt need to reach far to obtain the queen piece. The camera shows it. But it looks like he was unfamiliar with the entire process as he looked like he was indeed searching for the piece initially from the opponent's table although it was in fact always on his side of the table.

[@NickBlunder]

IMHO you should ask the opponent for the piece, "Queen", press your clock and the opponent has to replace the pawn on thier clock time.

Promoting a piece is a part of game you have to do it with time This is why players already takes promoting piece in their hand one or two move before they realise they can promote a pawn

It's a blitz game he didn't have time to take the piece beforehand
