Chess Federation Official Rules of Chess
The U.S. Chess Federation’s Official Rules of Chess is the only official rulebook for chess. Serious players at every level as well as chess club teachers, directors, and tournament sponsors should have it on hand during every match.

A great job for motivated teachers and coaches.
