I don't see what the fuss about the legitimacy of Stanley Random Chess is
all about. Clearly it is a chess variant that is currently playable at
the www.schemingmind.com correspondence chess server, there is an active
player base, there are annotated games. So it's real. Sure, some of its
history is clearly humorous and tongue-in-cheek, but since it is a real
game that can genuinely be played online, and there are many people
actively playing it, it belongs on this site.
The rules are honestly not that difficult to find out, and most players
willing to take the time to play one or two games at schemingmind.com will
discover them quickly. Nobody should be allowed to question the
authenticity and legitimacy of Stanley Random Chess without first trying
the game online at schemingmind.com.
I have personally played several games, and can appreciate and understand
the game's appeal! New players should not give up too quickly, and
indeed the best way to learn the game is simply play one or two games with
experienced players.
