A Richard Peterson event that turned into a flop?! Noooooooooo?
Really!?
You mean another failure? So that is why he is suing... Yes, once
again it was the fault of someone else. A genuine professional victim,
the Biblical JOB of the chess world. I think John Fernandez summed it
best: Scumbag

The lawsuit is a public document filed in the State Courts of
California, so none of my limited knowledge on the suit is
confidential. Although I have not had an opportunity to read the
suit, it is my general understanding that one of the many counts of
the complaint is that Peterson's USCF affiliate was allegedly denied
certain so-called contractual rights to receive mailing labels, have
TLA's listed, etc.... for a CEA Grand National Scholastic Chess
Championship, which turned out to be a financial failure, only able to
pay out a fraction of the advertised $60,000 in US Savings Bond
"scholarships" (based on 1000 players). This case shall be
interesting as discovery will necessarily open all of CEA's finances
to see what profits it had and what profits it reported on past
tournaments to compare to its alleged lost profits in this case.
