The moderator at uschess.org/forums has gone nuts today, deleting
numerous postings by myself, Joel Channing and Joe Lux.

Here is one of my postings that was deleted by the moderator:

Again you are new here and you do not know the history. You should
read more and write less. Especially you should read the debate over
these issues that took place over on rec.games.chess.politics long
before this forum was even created.

The wrong doings that occurred in 2003 are well documented and even
more evidence is now mounting.

There are a lot of questions about the "NY Mayors Cup". However,
nobody is doubting that the games were played, especially since I was
there and watched them being played.

There are many other questions about Susan which need to be answered.
For example she has long claimed to have won the World Championship
for Girls Under-16 in 1981 in Brighton, England. However, a researcher
has just discovered that in 1981 the World Championship for girls
Under-16 was held in Denmark and Susan did not play in it.

She also claims to have won the World Rapid and World Blitz
Championship for women in 1992. However, those were unofficial events
and her only strong competition were her sisters, Sofia and Judit.

She claims to have won the "Triple-Crown" in chess. That is not true
as there is no such title.

In short, it is not true that Susan is a Four Time World Chess
Champion. It is a lie that has been repeated countless times. She only
won the Woman's World Championship once and then refused to defend her
title.

There is no doubt that Susan is a very strong player with many great
accomplishments. However, I feel that Susan should stick to the claims
that are verifiable and true and not make claims that are false.

As to the controversy about her demands for payment in 2003, here is a
copy of the invoice Susan sent to the USCF:
