There was a split in chess when Gary Kasparov created his own organisation to go against FIDE. I forgot what it was called. Similar to darts. Has anyone looked into that

Looks good, I will try it tomorrow at the tournament I'm playing at currently. I need some tricks now for an easier win, I'm out of form now.
