Hello Axel,

Some of the searching on the USPTO site is not very intuitive. It is
script-centric and has parameters to specify in the fields or else it will
return NULLS and not execute a database search.

It does not work the way Google works. Also, in my patent, you will not find
"Gothic Chess" from searching on it.

Here is something you might try:

1. Go to http://www.uspto.gov
2. On the left, click on SEARCH  under PATENTS which should take you to
http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html
3. You now have to decide if you want t search on patents already issued or
those still under review. On the left, start with QUICK SEARCH under ISSUED
PATENTS
4. For the 'Field 1' entry type CHESS
5. For the 'Field 2' entry type VARIANTS
6. Make sure the rightmost selector is ALL FIELDS
7. Make sure AND is in the searching logic selector

You will see something like this:

1	6,673,896	Derivatives of soluble T-4
2	6,670,811	Method for high resolution magnetic resonance analysis using magic
angle technique
3	6,668,325	Obfuscation techniques for enhancing software security
4	6,651,049	Interactive mining of most interesting rules
5	6,651,048	Interactive mining of most interesting rules with population
constraints
6	6,645,070	3D rotating viewpoint game
7	6,641,997	Assays for screening compounds which interact with cation channel
proteins, mutant prokaryotic cation channel proteins, and uses thereof
8	6,640,125	Spectroscopic imaging method
9	6,629,741	Ink jet recording head drive method and ink jet recording apparatus
10	6,621,298	Variable grain architecture for FPGA integrated circuits
11	6,617,169	Two-dimensional MR spectroscopy techniques
12	6,610,511	Drosophila odorant receptors
13	6,604,925	Device for forming a filtering material
14	6,604,005	Method and apparatus for path planning
15	6,585,870	Physical vapor deposition targets having crystallographic
orientations
16	6,581,048	3-brain architecture for an intelligent decision and control system
17	6,570,000	DNA encoding the T cell surface protein CD4 and use of fragments of
CD4 in the treatment of AIDS
18	6,567,834	Implementation of multipliers in programmable arrays
19	6,524,583	Antibody methods for selectively inhibiting VEGF
20	6,482,411	Methods of reducing bone loss with CD40 ligand
21	6,481,716	Method of playing a variant of chess

And the last one is my patent.

I hope this helps.
