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

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.


Maybe she will do a better job with it than the USelessCF has done.

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


Then again maybe he would applaud.

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.


What does that have to do with the USCF? The existing (chess) World
Open is a CCA event. Of course there's also a golf World Open and
a squash World Open, so why not a Susan Polgar World 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.


Sounds like a good plan.

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?


I don't understand why she's even running. She's in a perfect
position to kick the USCF's ass from the outside and pretty much
replace it, so she should just do that instead of getting herself
tangled up with USCF's paralyzing bureaucracy.
