A very fine introduction indeed. I was somewhat suprised that forward pruning,
especially null-move, didn't get a mention, since his approach seemed to be to
touch on everything in an organized manner, without necessarily explaining the
details with much depth.

One question I had...

"Development of endgame databases; all five piece endgames were
solved. Some of these solutions were genuinely new, in that people
didn’t realize that one player could force a win in some of these. As a
result, the official Chess rules were changed."

What rules were changed?
