Answers.Text: Thanks for this, great start. Looking for something specific. I know for example that there were 1862 & 1883 rule sets. The 1893 game sounds interesting though.

Comments.Text: @user30536 Thank you. I have a couple of problems in mind, but I was thinking of publishing a more substantial survey when I have more facts. I will post something here in the next day or so, as I agree it could be helpful and interesting

  The touch-move rule has existed since at least 1497, although possibly earlier since there was little documentation of chess at that time. Up until a few years before 1931, there was a rule that if the move was illegal you had to move your king. This did not mean that you could not castle (assuming that you hadn't touched a piece other than the king). However, if one made an illegal move and then was forced to move their king, they could not castle (as it also involved the rook).
  This led to problems, such as an 1893 game wherein a player was forced to move their king on move three, possibly resulting in checkmate (sources are unclear). This was documented in Edward Winter's Chess Notes 5381.
