What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2001
A chess website with a database of chess games and discussion forums, run by Chessgames Services LLC.
Co-founder Daniel Freeman pictured it as a worldwide chess community open to anyone. Grandmaster Raymond Keene rated it one of the best free-to-view sites.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
