The description of castling mixes up the coordinates and the team colors according to the positioning diagram at the top of the page. It should read, 'When castling, the king moves two squares towards the rook, and the rook moves over the king to the next square, i.e., *black's* king on e*8* and rook on a*8* move to: king c*8*, rook d*8* (long castling), white's king on e1 and rook on h1 move to: king g1, rook f1 (short castling), and similar for black.

This is David Paulowich writing in support of the standard rules for pawn promotion, which seem to be unpopular with some players and chess variant designers. If, for example, pawns could only be promoted to previously captured pieces, then many beautiful games would no longer be legal. My databases contain over 400 games with 4 Queens on the board, 2 White and 2 Black, including: Capablanca - Alekhine, 1927 (Thirteenth World Chess Championship Match, game 11) and Borsony - Koch, 1956 (Second World Correspondence Chess Championship). In 1936 Reinle checkmated Lange in this 'extra promotion' game: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 f5 3. exf5 e4 4. Qh5+ g6 5. fxg6 h6 6. g7+ Ke7 7. Qe5+ Kf7 8. gxh8=N#

Such games, with one player having nine pieces other than pawns, used to be rare (only ten were played between 1856 and 1963). In modern times the opening: 1. b4 e5 2. Bb2 Bxb4 3. f4 exf4 4. Bxg7 Qh4+ 5. g3 fxg3 6. Bg2 gxh2+ 7. Kf1 hxg1=Q+ 8. Kxg1 (from Kucharkowski - Walter, 1982) has been repeated in over 200 games. Incidentally, White is winning, by about 150 to 50.

I am a teacher and am thinking of starting a chess club at school. I am a beginner at the game and was looking for easy to read rules, preferably with clear diagrams. Your site gave me precisely that. The descriptions of taking en passant and castling are succint and precise.
