In one of the most preposterous, ridiculous and absurd claims
imaginable, Joel Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids in her
program.
However, there is no evidence that Polgar has any kids in her program.
Polgar has no schools, no students and no program anywhere, as far as
anybody has been able to find out.
Here is what Joel Channing wrote in the BINFOS:
"We currently have five executed endorsement agreements. The number
of
children recently reported as receiving chess instruction from our
partners'
curricula and/or participating in their other programs is as follows:
"AF4C 25,000
"Berkeley Chess School 5,000
"Kasparov Foundation 75,000 - 100,000
"Kid Chess 6,000
"Susan Polgar Foundation 300,000
All of this done by the Susan Polgar Foundation, Inc. with total
reported revenue for 2006 per form 990EZ of $ 91,102.00 and total
expenses of $79,039.00. Of those expenses, only $27,035.00 appears to
be related to chess and children. So that breaks down to a whopping
90cents per child touched by the Susan Polgar Foundation. Maybe they
were facilitating 299,999 kids via other people's programs? Maybe Joel
misread the numbers off the cocktail napkin?

Carol Channing comes back on stage:
Hello everyone.
Oh! Oh! Did I tell you? All of this done by the Susan Polgar
Foundation, Inc.

[Hysterical laughter. A man has a seizure and dies, sadly.]
The question begs, how does one die sadly?
