Hi Sune, that difference in the application of standards already exists-- a distinction in application of rules-- without regard to whatever I want, so don't hang that on me personally, please. Here is an example (since I live in the USA) FIDE tournament rules differ from USCF rules. The open section where professionals play often need to use FIDE Rules in 9-round events so that players can earn norms. The other sections do not need this particular qualification. Here is an example of a rule difference in castling:..In FIDE rules, one must move the king first (touch move). But in USCF rules there is no penalty for touching and moving the rook before the King. I can see the practical point of this when most (or many) USCF tournaments are probably scholastic, and yes, kindergartners play. best to you-Marc On April 30, 2004 at 12:01:52, Sune Fischer wrote: >On April 30, 2004 at 10:31:49, margolies,marc wrote: > >>i think your suggestion is a bit of a red-herring here. >>any gm tournament which has sponorship and a TOMA/DGT system will be able to >>handle this technology and cost issue practically. and outside the celestial >>realm of super-gm play the issue addressed by this potential rule-change to EG >>move-length is moot in the paradigm that I offered you. >>-marc > >So you want one set of chess rules for GMs and a one set of chess rules for WM >matches and one set of chess rules for chess clubs and one set of chess rules >for kinder garten kids? > >-S.
