I think we already know what that feeling is. Therer is almost a total
disconnect between the players and the organization the is charged
with representing chess in the USA as the "official" FIDE
representative organization in the USA. I think if there was an
alternative to the USCF , they would cut off the lights in Crossville.

They have enough bucks to go another few years, if there is no competition.
Will there be? They have destroyed their own power base and write publicly
without contradiction that chess players exist to support them, rather than
them, it. This is the interior cadre of thought, which you now miss, having
been banned from the special group of friends, for raising the subject of
decency and of the plight of children!

Interesting, no? But not to any thinking or monied persons who currently
'reserve their judgement'

They can't even pay the women for a bril prize without faking it!@

The level of misrepresentation is disgusting at every stage of its
presentation. USCF is seriously in debt, have not released the current
financials until the voting is in, though the numbers have been known for a
week, and this is not even the major part of it!

No person currently on its board has any sway with the chess community or
can manage to propose any programs which will effect to its benefit.
