The one thing I would correct is that in bughouse, you must press the clock
before you pass the piece. Because your turn is not effectively completed
until you press your clock you could still do something else (as is the
case in blitz when touch-move is not in play). I have seen more than once
what happens when in over-the-board someone takes a piece and then doesn't
press his clock: the opponent may try to move but the player could claim,
'But I haven't pressed my clock yet.' Of course, in over the board play,
if you press your clock you don't necessarily have to pass the
piece...especially if you are playing with 5 people and the loser is out!

Otherwise the page looks good!
