0:48 nepo is like "but you touch the pawn you have to move it"

[@martinrodriguezbuela4061]

@cewek hot webcam yes but if you touch the pawn and you say like "i compose" is because a pawn is like for example a half in a square and a half in other so the player say i compose and he correct the position of the pawn

Watch his mouth. He's saying something like “adjusting”, announcing his intend.

In Blitz that rule does not apply

@@judelion8655 Of course you can adjust pieces in blitz as long as you say, "adjust' or "j'adoube" first. In fact in happens a lot more in speed chess than it does in classical because the players are moving the pieces so much faster. Give it some thought.
