Hi all,

The site http://www.chessandbeyond.com has copied 
several articles from Wikipedia. There's nothing about
wikipedia on those pages, and at the bottom there is
the statement

   Copyright © 2003 Chess And Beyond
   ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

I know for sure that they copied from us and not the
other way round because there's a lot of stuff there
that I originally contributed to wikipedia.

Some of the copied articles are:

http://www.chessandbeyond.com/the_club/stratigies_endgame.htm -- [[Endgame]]
http://www.chessandbeyond.com/the_club/rules_of_chess.htm -- [[Rules of chess]]
http://www.chessandbeyond.com/the_club/stratigies_tactics.htm -- [[Chess strategy and tactics]]
http://www.chessandbeyond.com/the_club/notation.htm -- [[Algebraic chess notation]]

These aren't the only ones. And the images used in these
articles have also been copied.

I'm not sure what to do, so I'm posting this here.
