CHESS LIES

BOBBY FISCHER: "I have nothing to do with them...I would appreciate it
if all my fans canceled their subscriptions to their horrible magazine
Chess Life. I call it Chess Lies and withdrew from the membership of
this organization."

REUBEN FINE: "The USCF is a meaningless paper organization, generally
antagonistic to the needs of its masters."

GARRY KASPAROV: "The small minded leaders of the USCF try to keep it
an amateur game and must be purged like entrenched Communist
bureaucrats."

Didn't take this one long to get copied onto the Polgar blog (sans
attribution and with the order of the quotes shuffled).

I guess it shows they're still *reading* usenet, even if not posting.

I just went over there to look and saw some funny things.

Many of the posters there apparently do not realize that that forum is
heavily moderated, and nothing negative about Polgar or Truong is
allowed to be posted there.

I also found the following statement by Gregory Alexander to be funny:

"If I was not so ingrained in this community, I would immediately quit
the USCF after this. I am sure that others feel this way to and will
walk away. Dirty politics..."

You would never know from this that Gregory Alexander just joined the
USCF for the first time a few months ago and played his first USCF
rated game of chess in August. Thus, he is not "ingrained in this
community". He is a newcomer here.

Expecting that forum to provide you with the real information about
Polgar is like expecting the Fox TV Network to tell you the truth
about George W. Bush.
