[When odds are given, the player giving them moves first. White generally moves first; therefore, if black win the move, the board is turned. It is usual to play with the white and black men alternately.] iv. The piece touched must be moved. When the fingers of the player have once left the man, it cannot be again removed from the square it occupies. [Except the move be illegal, when the opponent can insist on the piece being moved in the proper manner, or for the opposing King to be moved.] v. In touching a piece simply to adjust it, the player must notify to his adversary that such is his intention. [It is usual, in such a case, to say J'adoube (I adjust); but he may not touch a piece with the intention of moving it, and then, when he discover his mistake, say, J'adoube. The phrase is simply intended to be used when a piece is displaced or overturned by accident.] vi. If a player take one of his own men by mistake, or touch a wrong man, or one of his opponent's men, or make an illegal move, his adversary may compel him to take the man, make the right move, move his King, or replace the piece, and make a legal move. vii. A pawn may be played either one or two squares at a time when first moved. [In the latter case it is liable to be taken en passant, with a pawn that could have taken it had it been played only one square.]
