In official chess matches, laws are strictly and uncontested. Here, I would like to recall a game played in 1750 between Sir de Legal and Saint-Brie and called Le mat de Legal. And I will try to introduce this game in two forms by putting in each form two moves, the white player's move and the move of the black player, the game was all finished in 7 gears.
"Le mat de Legal" Sir Legal - Saint-Brie 1750 ................................................................................................................................ First starting position: (Figure 1).
- e4 e5
The White moved the King Pawn from E2 to E4 in order to open the path for F1 and also for the Minister. Black has moved the king pawn from e7 to e5. The same white idea. .................................. .................................. ........................................................... Second move of players: (Figure 2)
- e4 e5
- ♘f3 d6
White played the horse from g1 to f3, attacking the pawn of the black player in box e5. Play black pawn minister from d7 to d6 in order to protect the pawn of the horse ................................................................................................................................... Third shift: (Fig. 3).
- e4 e5
- ♘f3 d6
- ♗c4 ♞c6
White took the elephant out of F1 to C4, probably because he was thinking about the short turnaround. Black took his horse from b8 to c6.
.................................. ............................................................................................. The fourth shift (Figure 4).
- e4 e5
- ♘f3 d6
- ♗c4 ♞c6
- ♘c3 ♝g4
White took out the other horse from b1 to c3. Black drove the elephant from c8 to g4 attacking the white horse. Also in case the horse moves f3 from its place, the white minister will be vulnerable to families by the black elephant g4 .................................. .................................. ................................. Here the Legal player touched his horse on the box f3 as he was thinking, then after that He decided not to play with this horse. But his opponent reminded him of the law (the piece to be touched, to be played). He was asked to play with this horse. We can note that if Legal moves his horse f3, he will lose the minister and the elephant will be on the whole g4. After a deep thought, Legal decided to play with his horse. ...................................................................................................................................... Fifth shift (Figure 5).
