Hello Chess Blog friends,
On April 21-23, the FIDE/ACP Anti-Cheating Committee met at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the University at Buffalo, NY, for finalizing the proposal to the General Assembly for the new Anti-Cheating regulations. The meeting was also an occasion for a first-hand evaluation, together with leading academic experts, of the sophisticated anti-cheating tool developed by Prof. Kenneth Regan. FIDE wishes to thank the University at Buffalo for hosting this very important meeting and for devoting its professors' time to this project. (Update via FIDE)

Laws of Chess Changes that Might Influence Your Game
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012
Hi everyone,
We have here a nice article on how some changes in the laws of chess might effect your game. The article is written by Albert Vasse, Chief Arbiter London Chess Classic 2012.
But, first you should also read the Chess Blog post:
Back to the article on rules: Vasse writes, "You should always play by the rules! So watch it; at the FIDE congress in Istanbul, some of the rules have been changed."
These new Laws of Chess will take effect on the 1st of July 2013.
Many of the changes in the text are just clarifications, but some go beyond cosmetics. I will work through some part of the text, picking ten changes that might directly influence your game. Of course I (have to) assume that you are familiar with the current Laws of Chess. I follow the order from the articles in the LoC.

Anti-Cheating Chess Measures: Fide Trainer Committee Accepts GM Konstantin Landa's Complete Idea
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012
Hi everyone,
The Fide Trainer Committee has accepted GM Konstantin Landa's detailed proposal on anti-cheating measures for chess tournaments and forwarded to FIDE, recommending the Tournament Organizers Committee to support it. Finally, we would be able to save the image of chess from being damaged by cheaters.
GM Konstantin Landa, Elo 2640, is a senior FIDE trainer, and long-time coach of Alexandra Kosteniuk and Arkadi Naiditsch. He has been the captain and the coach of several teams including those playing in the Chess Olympiad. He continues to play top-level chess tournaments, train students and write on chess.
GM Konstantin, while speaking before the Fide panel said: I would like to make some anti-cheating suggestions which could help our chess family to protect the sport. Personally I was forced to take up the anti-cheat suggestions after the events that took place in recent months. The possibility of fraud has long been known but I started facing this problem in the last tournaments where I played.
1. Well-known case with Sebastian Feller in the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk saw the long chain of people involved in cheating and showed poor efficiency, because "when two know the secret - it is no longer a secret". In the most recent cases the cheater appears to be alone.
2. Case in Baku. You can read in Russian at GM Konstantin Landa's website.
3. Case in German bundesliga with Falko Bindrich. All materials you can find in www.schachbundesliga.de
4. Case with Natsidis in German individual championship 2011
GM Landa rightfully says, "It's the tip of the iceberg only! I have heard also about many other cases from my chess friends around the world. It does damage the image of our game every day. The cheater who was successful even one time will never stop and will share information with his friends. The cheaters use electronic devices during the game in such places that nobody can check them out. It's a virus. We have to stop this epidemic! GM Landa has spoken to a large number of chess professionals at all levels and makes the following recommendations:
