Doublemove chess

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Shouldn't be mentioned that Galvin invented doublemove chess, a variant of chess? Kope 06:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think invented is an exaggeration, I would at most use the word proposed or popularized, because I'm sure that many came up with this simple alteration of the rules - I certainly did, when I was a teenager. Domotorp (talk) 09:54, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

In fact, this thing has its own Wikipedia page, according to which it was first published in 1925 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseillais_chess Domotorp (talk) 09:54, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ramsey

The sentence Every Borel set is Ramsey would need some further pointers, or at least a disclaimer that this notion of Ramsey is not the same as the one used in Euclidean Ramsey theory. Domotorp (talk) 09:54, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
