It must be kept in mind that attempting to verify the historical background
of SR Chess will prove very difficult for the amateur.  Considering the
extent of the Great SR Chess Purge of the mid-19th century, we are
fortunate that the game has survived.

But for those who are truly interested in the complete origin and rules of
SR Chess, simply logon the ISRCA database.  You will need a T-1000 modem
connection, several tetra-bytes of hard-drive space and the standard
full-length Hellsing data-gloves with Universal Sign Language compatible
software.  Visitors to the database need only use the anonymous password
'giveusakiss' then press the baffing key on your standard Benson
flexi-board.

Contrary to internet rumors, the ISRCA search engine does not conflict
with any existing operating system software.
