And actually in the case of qualifying for the Men's World
Championship cycle it is far easier to prove the negative than the
positive. The first step should be for Ms. Polgar to give the date of
her first qualification. |
Right, and so far she has not done that. Susan has never provided the
dates of her first qualification or participation.
Susan also made the same statements during her commencement speech at
Texas Tech. Many people have remarked about how good her speech was,
but few seem to realize that her speech is filled with the same
unproven claims as are made in the aforementioned USCF Press Release.
In the video, now on youtube.com, "My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a
Genius" Part 1, the announcer introduces "Paul Truong, a former US
champion". When Susan beats him at one-minute chess, the announcer
says "her opponent has run out of time the latest in a long line of
distinguished victims."

The words "Paul Truong, a former US champion" is, of course, a
fabrication, as Paul Truong has never even played in the US
Championship, much less won it.
Incidentally, part 4 of the same video has an inside view of Susan's
apartment where I stayed in 1986.
