probably wouldn't even be commenting. She has already commented on
this particular question on her blog and has taken exactly that
line.
Susan Polgar's open disrespect for the USCF is one of the main reasons
that people should vote against her.

I see what you mean. Her comments are he
http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007...ise-of-us.html
Her blog contains an amazing number of false statements even by the
standards of Susan. By the way, she quotes me directly without
attribution.
Among her many false and misleading statements is: "No board member
has spoken to me about this."
The board is not supposed to talk to Susan about this. That is the job
of the Executive Director and he has spoken to her about this. That is
how I know about it.
I wonder how many readers can see through her false statements.
Judging by the comments she has allowed on her forum thus far, none of
them have. Of course, it is well known that Susan will delete any
comment with which she disagrees.
I would think that any person of average intelligence would see that
Susan Polgar running her own private tournament and calling it the
"National Chess Championship" is a problem, in that it conflicts with
the REAL US Chess Championship won last week by Shabalov.
Also, Susan says that the "Evil Chess Politicians" refused to pay
bonuses to the 2004 Womans Olympiad team. The bonuses of $20,000 were
paid over a year ago. Actually, I do not think they were owed any
bonuses by the USCF. The Kasparov Chess Foundation was the sponsor of
her team, not the USCF. I have asked the USCF office for documentation
about this and received nothing. Apparently, it is in the landfill.
If there was such a contract, Susan should produce it. I do not
believe that the contract exists.
Susan says on her blog that we are trying to "prevent" players from
participating in her "National Chess Championship". The USCF is doing
no such thing. Anybody foolish enough to think that her tournament is
a real national chess championship is free to play. However, the USCF
will not rate her event or advertise her tournament in Chess Life.
