CMM: One should be allowed to put their own king into check, and one should be allowed to make moves that leave their king in check
It would function simply: If a player puts their king into check on their own move, if the opponent sees it, they can capture the king on their turn either by physically taking out the king or announcing checkmate on their turn. If the opponent doesn’t see it, the game continues as normal. Likewise, if the opponent puts the king into check, both players can respond on their turn if they notice it, or it's simply a blundered opportunity. ... read full post

I've looked on Xboard site and I may have overlooked it but didn't see anything about it. When I look into the repos I may have missed it. ... read full post

Vladimir Kramnik admits to VIOLATING Fair Play Policy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qdsF077kNkDescription: "Featured is a playthrough of a blitz chess game between Rodrigo Vasquez and Vladimir Kramnik from an Early Titled Tuesday event which was held on October 17th, 2023. Kramnik recently admitted, via a YouTube comment on this topic of fair play surrounding him, that he played several tournaments under someone else’s chess.com account. This act violates chess.com’s Fair Play Policy. Kramnik played under Denis Khismatullin’s account, “Krakozia”. I share reasons why this is a violation of fair play policy, how a player can be negatively impacted because of it, and provide Kramnik’s YouTube comments where he attempts to explain it all." ... read full post

Achievement unlocked!
It wasn't a very long game but I had 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders!
The London is the first opening I've learnt, I've been practicing it for a while now and I'm feeling like I'm getting good at it.
Maybe it's time to learn another opening. Any suggestions?
