> Chess is a lot trickier than it looks. It has so many rules: castling, en passant, pawn promotion, pinning, the discovered check, and the deadlock case of stalemate.

Nit: Pinning and the discovered check are not really rules, but rather names of tactics.

JohnKemeny•24m ago
Well, if a piece is pinned it's illegal to move it.
TheOtherHobbes•18m ago
Unlike en-passant and castling, pinning and discovered checks are consequences of lower-level rules.

At the "Is this move legal?" level, they don't need unique rules of its own if the lower-level rules are specified correctly.

gobdovan•12m ago
You can also pin a pawn to a queen, but the pawn can still legally move.
juujian•16m ago
And discovered check means that it is not sufficient to check the position of the piece you have moved, you also need to check the position of other pieces to see whether there is a new check.

I can't wait to show this to my manager next time he asks why it's taking three weeks to build a simple CRUD app.

"Look, if this guys TLA+ logic struggles to model a 1,500-year-old game without crying over a French pawn-capture rule, you can't expect me to integrate Stripe billing without a few state invariant violations."
