At a meeting of the USCF Executive Board on May 19-20 in Stillwater,
Oklahoma, it was reported to the board that Susan Polgar had violated
the trade name rights to two major chess events, by holding the "Susan
Polgar National Open Chess Championship for Girls" and the Susan
Polgar World Open Chess Championship for Girls" in violation of the
rights to hold events by similar namees by the USCF.

USCF holds rights to Susan Polgar's name?!

It was also reported that Susan Polgar is negotiating to move the
Denker Tournament of High School Champions to Lubock, Texas although
she does not hold the rights to that event.

That sounds logical: if she wants the tournament moved and doesn't
hold the rights to it, of course she'd have to suggest the idea to
whoever has the rights, make proposals and incentive offers, all the
stuff that we call negotiation. If she held the rights rights and
wanted the event moved, she could just move it without having to
negotiate with anyone. So I don't see what point Sam is trying to
make.

At a meeting of the USCF Executive Board on May 19-20, 2007 Sloan
advocated an immediate reduction of personell costs of $80,000 but
this was rejected by the board.

I think this says that Sam wanted to fire Bill Hall without it
occurring to Sam that a replacement for Bill would then be needed.
