50 IV. If, at any stage of the game, either player discovers that a Piece or Pawn has been omitted or wrongly placed in setting up the board, the game must be annulled, no matter how far it may have progressed.

V. The choice of color with which each person plays is decided by drawing lots; and the person who draws the White men is entitled to the first move unless otherwise agreed. In a match or series of games between the same players, each retains the color which he drew for the first game, but the first move of each successive game alternates between them. If a game is annulled, however, the person who opened that game has the privilege of making the first move in the next game.

VII. When odds are given, the odds-giver has the choice of men and the first move in each game unless otherwise agreed.

VIII. The players move alternately, one Piece or Pawn at a time, except in castling; and in no case does a player make two moves in succession, unless they are given as odds.
