| General Chess Discussion - Carlsen, Kasparov, Nakamura, Firouzja and more battle it out on Lichess#50 Wow. What sponsor is putting up the money for this? | Scarblac |
| General Chess Discussion - Identical positions in the sense of castling.#10 That said, where computers are involved, I think it's sensible to see them as different positions because that's easier to program. | Scarblac |
| General Chess Discussion - Identical positions in the sense of castling.#9 This has also come up in an old "The Arbiter's Notebook" column by Geurt Gijssen on the Chess Cafe site. Don't know if it's still possible, but I recall that he didn't have a good answer. We also disc… | Scarblac |
