JB 17 June - As the stealth rules page becomes public, here is the new stealth page. Reasons for rules and other commentary will be removed from the main page, which is at http://cocycc.pbwiki.com/cyccRules - 16 June PETER! I'm happy with the CYCC Rules below. You might check that things are in fact as I say, as I've copied some stuff from 2005 and 2003. Among the things you might want to check are free T-shirts, medals, and whether food is allowed in the playing hall. I've dropped the Pseudo-Swiss and made the rules briefer. 15 June: I would prefer a control which added time after move 30 or move 40. Reason: more humane, "bathroom anxiety" averted. I have copied/pasted these from the Victoria 2005 rules as suggested by Peter. I also pasted some rules from 2003. As I'm not familiar with the Chateau Laurier site, there may be site-specific requirements that I am not aware of. The format info is all mine. If you want to research the reasoning, http://members.shaw.ca/berry5868/cyr.htm .
