TIL.
To be fair, I only heard about things like Castleing (Castling?) last
October.
Guess you're ready to learn about en passant then.

Hope you're also familiar with promotion

A lot of exciting end-games involve the threat of it. Be afraid, be very

"0-3 minutes per side"
Anyone wondering what a 0 minute game is? Turns out some people play
with a clock without any amount of base time at the start and just 5
seconds per move as they play.
I think that's better than having only 30 seconds for the entire game --
like world champion Magnus Carlsen had vs Bill Gates
