  • Chess Train

    I came across this video via a posting on Google+

    https://youtu.be/mNH6k1wAkhg

    "Chess Train" - appears to be about playing chess on a train - some sort of mobile tournament or something like that?

    Around 8:14 into the video there is an incident where a player promotes a pawn to an upside-down Rook because there is no Queen at hand.
    (stop me if this sounds familiar?)

    His opponent objects and claims it is an "illegal move" and the "arbiter" agrees and the player who promoted decides to bag the game.

    This video was posted on Youtube on Aug 2, 2017...

    I don't know if the video's poster knows about the Canadian Closed episode or not ...
