Anybody (important) copyright a chess game?
I don’t think you can copyright chess games though.
My understanding (not a lawyer and don't pretend to be one) is you can't copyright the moves to a game. You can copyright the commentary. You can copyright a collection of games.
What is unclear to me is whether you can copyright a composed position.

Interesting, you cannot copyright the moves to a game but you can copyright a collection of games.
I know it is done but I would think the collection of games is just the moves of the games.
The more you know ....
Interesting. I don't know too much about chess, but copyright is used to protect expression. So, if I devise a chess game, it would seem like copyrightable. Now, if 2 players collaborate to create/play a game, it would seem applicable too. Need to see some US court cases, I guess, LexisNexis anybody?
Of course, you can copyright it, but I'm wondering if there's been any famous games that's copyrighted?
