I like the new look of the site and the game where they have the clock 10 feet from the board. 🙂

The "no draw offer until move 31" rule seems reasonable.

Also, what's the point of Condi Chess? To combine the love of chess with the love of shuttle runs and sprints? I'd rather do Boxing Chess.

How about this: your opponent has to do pushups, situps, and pullups while it is your turn. We can call it "Presidential Fitness Chess".

I really like the new draw rule. There are too many instances where two GMs are playing in a tourney and agree to a draw early since they can both stay ahead of the pack with the 1/2 point.

Especially if it's 5:00 blitz...

Imagine being under time pressure... you make your move, run to your clock, breathlessly return while your opponent is doing the same thing... a good workout!
