Senator Gravel: Bobby Fischer should be pardoned
That is correct. When the EB suspended GM Fischer, I volunteered to read the
very same transcript and be suspended too.
USCF should only suspend folks over their chess acts -- if they cheat at
chess, cheat at the ratings, fail to submit reports or dues, etc. Even
Michael Vick should be allowed to join USCF, if he wishes. His non-chess
behavior really shouldn't matter at all.
No more Pachmans, please!

What if they served 30 years for killing another chessplayer during a rated
game? --asked corplawyer--

**Was it a Sicilian?
**The very strange thing is that Rob Mitchell offered to reproduce Sam
Sloan's Wikipedia profiles - after normal editing, at Chessville. //With
edits//, it was a very useful resource for chessplayers, but cloth-ears here
preferred to be the victim than deign to listen to Debil-chil' Mitchell.
**If anyone wants to profile chess players in potted biographies, Chessville
is a place where that work cannot be destroyed - though of course it can
ammended, after a /sensible/ process has taken place.
**Similarly, if anyone wants to hold a benefit it is /normal/ to give them a
free plug at Chessville, I do that every week, whether I like the sons of
bitches or not makes no difference.
