Countries no longer allowed to introduce their own additions
Automatic draw after 75 moves if no piece capture or pawn move (don't know how this is worked out).
Automatic draw after 10 CONSECUTIVE occurrences of the same position (don't know how this is possible as making a move changes the position)
Removal of Article 10 (Quickplay finishes)
Changes to Rapidlplay and Blitz which don't make it clear what will happen. Indeed one change to blitz is the removal of A2 from it. A2 meant that you didn't have to record!!! Therefore you will now have to record a Blitz game until you have less than 5 minutes.
Stupid and an obvious mistake but it shows the lack of care and thought that went into these proposals from the ECF Presidential Board.
I'd welcome comments on any changes.
