Hello...
I have a couple of questions.
If at a Chess tournament (low level) someone
makes an illegal move and several moves are played in such a way
that it could not be possible to replay back to the move before
the illegal move, what can be done?
Next question: In the King and Pawn
ending against King, I don't see how the Pawn can promote when
reaches sixth rank and his opponent knows how to stop it while
being in front of it. Is it right for either player to offer a
draw?
Greetings and thank you.

Dear viewer,
The official
Laws of Chess -Article
7: Illegal positions - Section 7.4
- show the following:
"If during a game it is found that an
illegal move has been made, or that pieces have been displaced
from their squares, the position before the irregularity shall
be re-instated. If the position immediately before the
irregularity cannot be identified the game shall continue from
the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The
clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.13 and, in the
case of an illegal move, Article 4.3 applies to the move
replacing the illegal move. The game shall then continue."
On the King and Pawn
ending question,
it is right for either player to
offer a draw. Should both players decide to play on, then the
player with the King alone, can force a draw by the triple
repetition rule or, if he makes a wrong move, may lose the game.
