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.


Shortly after I posted this, Susan Polgar edited her post to add:

'I do not know if these quotes are completely accurate or not but it
was sent to me this morning. I have never heard them before. Perhaps
someone can verify the authenticity of these quotes. Unfortunately, if
true, it is quite sad."

I guess she didn't want people to get the impression they are actually
*reading* this forum.

This is getting pretty funny.
