Fritz 15 Help
6.9. Except where Articles 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 apply, if a player does not complete the
prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player.
However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot
checkmate the player by any possible series of legal moves ( i.e. by the most unskilled
counterplay).
6.10. Every indication given by the clocks is considered to be conclusive in the
absence of any evident defect. A chess clock with an evident defect shall be
replaced. The arbiter shall use his best judgement when determining the times to be
shown on the replacement chess clock.
6.11. If both flags have fallen and it is impossible to establish which flag fell first, the
game shall continue.
6.12. (a) If the game needs to be interrupted, the arbiter shall stop the clocks.
(b) A player may stop the clocks in order to seek the arbiter's assistance.
(c) The arbiter shall decide when the game is to be restarted.
6.13. If an irregularity occurs and/or the pieces have to be restored to a previous
position, the arbiter shall use his best judgement to determine the times to be shown
on the clocks.
6.14. Screens, monitors, or demonstration boards showing the current position on the
chessboard, the moves and the number of moves made, and clocks which also show
the number of moves, are allowed in the playing hall. However, the player may not
make a claim based on anything shown in this manner.

4.8

7: Illegal positions
7.1. (a) If during a game it is found that the initial position of the pieces was
incorrect, the game shall be cancelled and a new game played.
(b) If during a game it is found that the only error is that the chessboard has been
placed contrary to Article 2.1, the game continues but the position reached must be
transferred to a correctly placed chessboard.
7.2. If a game has begun with colours reversed then it shall continue, unless the
arbiter rules otherwise.
7.3. If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position
on his own time. If necessary the opponent has the right to restart the player's clock
without making a move in order to make sure the player re-establishes the correct
position on his own time.
7.4. If during a game it is found that an illegal move has been made, or that pieces
have been displaced from their squares, the position before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be identified the
game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The
clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.13 and, in the case of an illegal move,
Article 4.3 applies to the move replacing the illegal move. The game shall then
continue.
