created by Vladimir Aniskin was recently featured in the Times:
A microscopic chess set no bigger than a match head could be the smallest board game in the world.
The board is 3.5 mm by 2.5 mm and the gold and silver pieces are 0.15 mm and 0.3 mm high.

The USCF is doing it again


Dan said:
Yeah, it was so successful that USCF is doing it again. See here.

So the story is, USCF created US Chess Live (USCL) as a free service for its members, then then sold out to GamesParlor for the high bid of $0, who started charging its "royal" (game-playing) members membership fees and renamed it Chess Live, and was about to go bankrupt when it was bought out by WCL, who are now offering free six-month memberships just like Chess Live used to in order to attract new members before hiking up membership prices again.
