While on the subject of Grandmaster Polgar's not correcting false
statements, remember this one from 2005?:

Strangely enough, the "First Press Release" distributed by the
Innes/Mitchell team described GM Polgar as "ranked in the top three
in the world for the last twenty years. Polgar is currently ranked
#1 in the United States." No mention that this is a woman's title and
a
ranking on a woman's list. ChessBase made the correction, of course,
but then again, they know chess. The press release was sent to
non-chessplayers, or in other words people who would not know the
truth
about Trollgar. This betrays the fine hand of Philth Innes, who has
used this method of lying before; he once claimed to be "nearly an IM"
on a Shakespeare newsgroup.

As we continue to read this interesting document, we see that Trollgar
has earned "the title of "Chess Ambassador"." A search of the
Internet shows that the title of "Chess Ambassador" was awarded to
Trollgar by herself and her male remora.

Leaving aside for now the puffery about "distance chess" nonsense
(obviously Innes has never heard of correspondence chess), we note Mr.
Innes in his biography finally admits to having a business interest in
Shahcom, despite having denied it for years he "Synchronously with
business activities, worked with the inventor of chess broadcasting
technologies in St. Petersburg, Russia, since 1996, to promote greater
world-wide interactions and audiences for chess."

The chess may be high class, but the promotion of it is but another
sack of Philth.
