Oh, how very convenient. Just like the time I beat a consultation
team of Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik.

However, the game started like this. I was Black:

1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Bf4 Qb4+ 5. Bd2 Qxb2 6. Nc3 Bb4 7.
Rb1 Qa3

A few moves later, I played Bxc3 and he played B on f1 captures B on
c3 which of course is illegal. He then said that he wanted me to
give him the move back. When I would not agree, he resigned.

Um. Is this one of those points where USCF rules and FIDE rules
diverge? Under FIDE rules, you would have been given extra time on
the clock to compensate you for the confusion and White would have
been forced to make a legal move with the Bf1 if any such move
existed (assuming the Bf1 was the first piece he touched); if there
was no such move, he would be forced to make a legal capture of your
Bc3; if no capture was legal, he would have a free choice of move.
The game is forfeit by a player who makes three illegal moves.

Dave, I take it you have a set of FIDE rules handy? If so, can you
tell me, is there any penalty for a false announcement of check? By
this I mean saying "check" when making a move that actually does not
give check. I'm sure this happens only very rarely, if at all, in FIDE
competition, but I have experienced it in USCF play.
