Moving with 2 hands is illegal.
Castling with 2 hands is illegal.
Castling with the rook first counts as a rook move.
Touching the clock and moving with different hands is illegal.
Promoting with 2 hands is also illegal...

( according to FIDE )

Pressing the clock before putting the promoted on the board is also technically illegal, leaving the pawn on the board, pressing the clock. ( I think )

The list goes on...

Although this is funny how GM's still mess up.
