15RC15 - The Chess King Amendment

Whereas, the BPT organized Talossan Chess Championship greatly enhanced the RT's culture but gave no significant reward to the winner, Therefore Talossa officially crowns Wes Erni as the Chess King of Talossa and grants him certain Royal Powers.

The Constituzion is amended to include articles 13a, 13b, and 13c:

Art. 13a. The King's Royal Powers are limited to allow the Chess King to possess full Royal Powers involving the game of chess. The Chess King is given full Royal and ceremonial power to grant titles of nobility, declare national holidays, and make the Speech from the Chess Thrown on the 31st of May (the anniversary of the first tournament). In addition, the Chess King can do anything else he sees as relevant to the well-being of chess in Talossa.

Art. 13b. The Chess King shall be the most recent winner of an official Talossan Chess Tournament. A tournament is official if it is approved by more than half the Cosa, announced by the Prime Minister through a Prime Dictate, or Royally Decreed by the Chess King. Tournaments should be held at least once a year.

Art. 13c. If the King/Regent of Talossa decides that the Chess King is not acting in the best interests of Talossa, he can depose the Chess King or veto any of his actions. The Cosa can also depose the Chess King by a two-thirds majority. If the Chess King abdicates or is deposed, there will be no replacement until the next tournament is held.

Hey, Wes, Ben can Knight people, but only you can Bishop them.
