I'm pretty sure there exist blitz variants where capturing the king is a valid way to win the game
That's actually the standard in the US.
If it were most other people here, I would figure you were trolling. Please clarify. Standard chess here is standard chess world-wide. The king is not actually captured.

This is only for blitz games. Under longer time controls, the procedure is to call over the tournament director, who may add time to the clock of the player making the illegal move or take other measures.
EDIT: The above is backward. the TD will give more time to the opponent of the player making the illegal move. Other measures would include forfeiting the game in the case of repeat offenses.

@dcon I feel that likely won't work in the modern world. Nobody fuckin' knows what "on the air" means.

Just pair it with a fake game show accent, and go "HI! You're live on DWTF Radio, with a horde of listeners, what do you think about <insert random subject>?"
Then if they do actually answer, "Oh I'm SORRY that's all we have time for!" and hang up.

If i bother to answer an unknown number call i say "Thank you for calling Joe's Roadkill Cafe, where you grill the meat first. What'd'ya hit, and how do you want it cooked?"
that gets the call disconnected fast!

I hit a pigeon once, years ago, while on vacation. It ended up stuck in my grille. I very carefully disposed of the carcass while touching it only through the garbage bag I was disposing of it in.

@dcon I'm more amused by the fact that the sound of a phone "ringing" is being onomatopoeia-ized by saying "Tweedle!" That's a new one for me, but I can see how it might be more accurate than "ring" given what phones do to alert people to an incoming call nowadays.
