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.

The information about the origins of the name Stanley is highly suspect.
Stanley as a surname derives from one or more of the several villages of
that name, including one in Derbyshire which is in accord with the fact
that a Stanley family did indeed become Earls of Derby. Like many
aristocratic surnames (Campbell, Cecil, Gordon, Graham, Grant, Howard,
Neville, Percy) it only later became a forename, so it is unlikely to have
been the name of an eleventh-century pet monkey.
	On the other hand, Topov IS the name of a monkey, a character in the
British 1970s children's programme Pipkin's, so it looks like historical
accuracy is not the top priority on the link. I hope that this information
(which also helps age me!) helps make up for my ignorance of American
children's television!
