Have today's chess rules attained perfection, or can they still be
improved in some way, leading to an enhanced variability? What would
happen if the castle move was modified? I suggest the following.
Extended castle: when castling the king may jump *three*
squares, but it can also jump two as usual. The rook ends up on its
usual square. In Chess with Extended Castle, queenside castle will

Now after a month there was a little twitting done to GetClub. I hope
that will improve GetClub a quite bit.
Now opponent will face a quite stronger opponent at GetClub.
It will be very difficult to beat the Beginner level now, as it will

that plaintiffs effectively waived any conflicts that obtained from

I agree and I would say that if I am elected, in spite of all the

No member of the current board, nor any of the candidates other than

Why do they think that people join the USCF, if not for the magazines?
