Thanks, Carlos!
Since we are running, there are a couple of other things that should probably be specified at this point:
Chess with Different Armies: If this game is included, each participant will tell me (privately) at the start which army he or she will play. To ensure that I do not cheat, I will publicly say that, if CwDA is selected, I will play the Fabulous FIDEs. While there is disagreement about which army is best, I think it is clear that it is not the Fabulous FIDEs.
Grande Acedrex: There has been a variety of interpretations of the rules over the years due to the scarcity of sources. I believe the best, most current, source is that of Jean-Louis Cazaux, with the modification of H. G. Muller and agreed to by Jean-Louis Cazaux, located here: http://history.chess.free.fr/acedrex.htm. The one difference involves the rhino/unicorn. It moves outward, as one would expect, and J. L. Cazaux hasn't yet updated his webpage, although he agrees with this intrepretation.
