There are download links here:
https://rcc.fide.com/2023-laws-of-chess/
- both for a .pdf of the rules and a .pdf of the changes from last verstion...
It looks like that is "just" a web page... fine in a way, but I wonder if there is a .pdf or other single file available?
(PS: I *know* how to create a .pdf from the webpage but perhaps many people...
Since this statement appeared, there is the following update:
Update on 2/26: Do you want to offer direct help? US Chess has established a GoFundMe campaign to assist suffering Ukrainian chess...
Reminder -- the next GM’s on the Grandmaster Corner will be:
GM Evgeny Bareev (April 17),
GM Aleksander Mista (April 23) Poland’s #13 and
GM Evgeny Shtembuliak, the 2019 world junior...
I was being facetious. I am absolutely certain that Chris has done nothing whatsoever except criticize (some of) your actions.
Deflecting the issue now to your impression that he was deliberately...
Are you sure it isn't Chris Mallon trying to sabotage you? :)
I suspect Vlad is NOT kidding... that is what actually concerns me most.
I would like to thank Hal for his considerable contributions
not only as FIDE representative (an immensely challenging job I am certain)
but also for his contributions to the CFC for many years.
One Drive and Dropbox and many of the 'cloud storage' schemes have behaviours like you describe - they seem to think they "own" the bloody files and sometimes will just remove files here and there...
It seems Makro has been involved in some rather dubious appointments
(see today's article on Spraggett's blog:http://www.spraggettonchess.com/makro-advocates-systemic-corruption-ahead-of-election/...
So it says, and has said for a couple of days now... of course this is not unexpected - Chesstalk message forum has been sold and this maintenance is likely the transfer to the the new owners.
I am...
Damn facebook knows everything... :) Someone should question the Zuck about this!
Actually, I saw a similar note on Twitter too.
I have no idea how much revenue that new charge for posting events on Chesstalk might be bringing in, but I think the loss of goodwill more than offsets the paltry amount of money. It seems they have...
I just ran across this the other day (likely via a post on Twitter, but I don't recall exactly)

This seems to be a relatively new operation in Toronto although it...
It appears that recent news about FIDE bank account being shutdown may have been over-dramatized ...
Did the CFC office receive official direction from FIDE about the bank account? (FIDE apparently...
You could just remove the "Login" link on the home page - AND all of the warnings about it
and have those few people who need to "login" to simply bookmark the separate URL: ...
There is a blog post today indicating that some or all of his PCs were 'hacked' and he had to restore from a backup and change a few things etc.
It seems that the blog is back up and running at the...
It seems he changed the blog to be at this address: http://www.spraggettonchess.com/
even though the "Blog" link on the main header hasn't been updated... I sent him an email asking where the...
I noticed the rather low key mention on the CFC website home page that says "DO NOT LOGIN TO WEBSITE" and "Attention: Do not login to website, read FAQ" ...
All of this, I gather, is to warn...
That reminded me of a Yogi Berra-ism: Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore - it is too busy.
Ironic. Just as the CFC website (weasel2) comes back online, you cannot even post that news at Chesstalk! lol [Yes, I also saw that account suspended message... likely the registration with the...
It still is down; there was a post today about it on ChessTalk - I guess the news is that it is being worked on...
Is it always associated with a specific thread? Several people who claimed to have the problem (I think) felt that it was related to a specific thread - possibly one of the Trump threads... but those...
it was intended as a public service announcement... ;)
but definitely not taken that way.
