Question about draws in USCF Rules - Chess Forums - Page 2

Hello, I have recently played in a local tournament with a rated 25+5 time control and just over ten players - a just-for-fun-and-experience setting. In the last game, I ended up in an endgame position which I believed was drawn at the time, as I had only about 30 seconds remaining on my clock.

Thanks Martin.

It is good that they put five chapters online. They should put the whole thing online, just like FIDE does.

I guess the ridiculous $21.99 price tag on Amazon explains why they don't.

Most of the rules aren't needed for anyone other than TDs. I believe there are also some rights considerations with the ability to release the whole thing for free, based on long term contracts. Not sure US Chess gets much money from the sales either, and likely generates little income.

Yeah I've heard the copyright excuse before. What I've always said, well before 2018, is that "contracts" can be modified and it is up to them to do so. The fact that they were able to actually put five full chapters online (which, as I said, I am happy about and kudos to them) kind of proves that.
