Default Highlights of the USCF Board Meeting May 19-20, 2007

If Susan Polgar wants to organize her own tournament in Lubbock, Texas
and call it the "Susan Polgar Tournament of High School Champions" and
award scholarships to Texas Tech University, everybody will applaud.
Nobody will object.

However, what she is trying to do here is taking a long established
tournament, the Denker Tournament of High School Championships,
grabbing it away from the USCF and converting it into a Polgar
tournament.

If Arnold Denker were alive today, he would be appalled. He would
never stand for this.

Similarly, by holding a "Susan Polgar World Open" and a "Susan Polgar
National Open" she is infringing on the real World Open and the real
National Open.

It is feared that next she will be trying to take over the big USCF
scholastic events. For example, she could take the National Elementary
Championship and call it the Susan Polgar National Elementary
Championship.

And, she has not even been elected yet. Imagine what havoc she will
cause if she actually gets elected and is still doing these things?
