An excerpt :
"8.1 Players may not write down their moves in advance. This is a most
important change and needs to be communicated to players and coaches NOW."

In my opinion moves of chess games should be registered automatically on
electronic chessboards by chess software and then such rules would be
irrelevant ;-)

Isn't it impossible to write down a move in advance? A move isn't a move
until it is played.
