chess patch notes

I 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.
