Does this document have the most up-to-date listing of approved electronic notation devices in US Chess rated events or is there a more up-to-date one?
When you go to the US Chess website and go to “Play”, “Official Rules”, I think it would be good to have a link to the approved electronic notation devices, a link to the TD Certification rules (new.uschess.org/sites/default/f … s-2020.pdf), and other rules documents that are available on the US Chess website but aren’t always easy to find.
I see the US Chess correspondence rules have been added to this page, (new.uschess.org/news/7th-editio … e-download), good job!. I still think it would be good to add the TD Certification rules and other rules documents that are available on the US Chess website but aren’t always easy to find.
The official rules download pages are focused on rules of play and explicitly uses the term “most utilized chapters”. The certification download is already on the TD link. The first version of the US Chess website suffered from people continually asking for things to have links on the home page, reaching the point where the home page was quite cluttered and things got lost on it.
Personally I’d prefer to see the TD link as the primary portal for TD-only pages and thus I’m fine with the download page retaining its focus on what players need.
Perhaps there could be an Index link, which would work rather like the index to any large book. This could be an alphabetical listing containing just about any topic anyone might want to look up. (Look at the index to any reasonably recent hardcopy version of the U.S. ChessOfficial Rules of Chessto see this idea carried to extremes).
The Index link would add only one more link to the home page, but anybody who chose this link would be able to see a mountain of stuff.
