'The touch-move rule has existed for centuries. In the Middle Ages strict rules were considered necessary because chess was played for stakes. Luis Ramirez de Lucena gave the rule in his 1497 book Arte de Axdres. Benjamin Franklin referred to it in his 1786 essay The Morals of Chess. At one time the rule also required the player who played an illegal move to move his king.

While that stipulation existed, it's enforcement has led to some amusing finishes to chess games such as the 1893 game between Lindermann and Echtermeyer, at Kiel.

In that game, after 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 White, probably intending the usual 3.Nc3, instead placed his queen's bishop on c3. Since that move was illegal White was compelled to instead move his king.' ~ Wonders and Curiosities of Chess by Irving Chernev (1974) Dover
