As RGCP is something like the WWWF of the chess world, we should also
have some apropos pre-match quotes. The players have obliged!

"My primary goal--heretofore unstated, but evident to all but the
brain-damaged--is to minimize the lies that Sam Sloan and Larry Parr
spread during this election campaign. To delay the match would defeat
that purpose. That Sam Sloan happens to be a kiddie f*cker is
convenient to my purpose." - Bill Brock (referring to this match), June
19, 2005

"I plan to beat the f*cking **** at chess out of this *sshole Bill
Brock, so please have your money ready." - Sam Sloan, June 23, 2005
