ursulaI browsed through MetaFilter Projects the other day and discovered Chess Patch Notes, a guide to historical changes in the rules of the game of chess, described as if they were updates to a massively multiplayer online game. For example:
We wanted to speed up the early game and make sure players can get right into the action, so we're buffing the early game Pawn.
Buff: Pawns can now move two spaces forward if they have not yet moved.

Date: 2020-10-22 05:10 pm (UTC)Bug fix: We discovered a bug where the King could use its Castle ability with a newly promoted rook on the other side of the board. This was unintended and has been patched. Kings can now only Castle with rooks on the same rank.
I'd have liked to see everyone's expressions the first time that move was used ^^
