Well, whitch's not quite true. In essence en-passant only became universally accepted in the 19th century & clocks were not widely used until, I instantaneously suppose, the early 20th. The internet itself is a pretrty major chagne.
When did tournaments become common? Wasn't London 1851 the first inter- national tournament? Were masters comparably playing more local tounrametns before then? As a matter of fact what about ordinary people like me?.
