I'LL TAKE THAT BET!

Anyone wanna bet that Liarry's source is none other than 1900-rated but self-proclaimed 2200+ ELO Mack Truck NM Sam Sloan? -- Matt Nemmers

Translation of Matt Nemmers' argument: above all else, try to
black out what is happening re the ChessCafe deal.

I provided a report with plenty of caveats about my source, who
is known by name but who is not yet known to be reliable.

I have a hunch, which I hope is wrong, that the current Board
will try to kill my report with silence in the hope that I will not
receive further information.

If my source is substantially accurate, then any deal handing B
&E another seven years to ChessCafe will mean the effective end of the
USCF as a
company that can market products.

To grant such a contract without Delegate approval would be as
irresponsible as Beatriz Marinello's decision to relegate the
Federation to a methamphetamine
capital known as Crossville.
