Dear Chess and Beyond,
We're delighted to see that several pages on your website, http://www.chessandbeyond.com/ use content from Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/), the free encyclopedia. This is just the sort of application that we at Wikipedia wish to promote.
However, we'd like to point out that to use content from Wikipedia you should include a link back to the source Wikipedia articles ( http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endgame, http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess%20strategy%20and%20tactics, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules%20of%20chess, http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic%20chess%20notation, http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_(chess) http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(chess) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_(chess) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_(chess) http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_(chess) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawn_(chess)), as we've suggested on our copyrights page (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights). Additionally, you should also include a GFDL notice.
