FIDE vs. USCF Rules for the Tournament Player

Today I have a post up on a topic that many wonder about.

As you transition up the ladder of chess knowledge you may notice that eventually some of the tournaments you play in will have a notice that says "FIDE rated and uses FIDE rules", or something similar. So, what is FIDE and what are the differences between FIDE and USCF (US Chess Federation) rules? You can find the answer here.

While researching the answer to this question I learned quite a few rule differences I was not privy to before. Hopefully you also unlock some new knowledge! Once again, you can find the article here. 

Thanks for reading!
