What I found interesting, (also from a Chess Life article), was that say 150 years ago, white did not always move first. In fact, at the beginning of a match, there were two "drawings". One to determine which player got which color and another to determine which player got to go first. I'm not sure when or how the "white moves first" rule came into play. Chris
