[-] Quarterdillon156 935 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) Yes and no. Il Vaticano is actually a very old move, in multiple versions of different kinds of Chess. However the move was eventually scrapped due to disagreements on whether or not the move applied to pieces, or just powns. In today's Chess it's nearly non-existent, as most major chess websites prefer to pretend it doesn't exist. permalink source embed save save-RES report give award reply hide child comments [-] Turtlehunter239 points 1 month ago Was it called the Il Vaticano back then or something else? permalink source embed save save-RES parent report give award reply hide child comments [-] Quarterdillon156 147 points 1 month ago It was called Il Vaticano, yes, but some called it Il Vaticino, some called it Intervento Divino. Some bonus history is that there was a small schism in the Church when a Pope Clement VII played against King Henry VIII. Pope Clement used Il Vaticano, which King Henry declared illegal, and due to this there became a schism in the Church which led to the founding of the Church of England. (Most people believe the schism was due to Henry wanting to divorce his wife, but this is a simple misinterpretation of events.) permalink source embed save save-RES parent report give award reply hide child comments
