Phil's prattle about QC vis-a-vis titles is ironic, given his aid,
comfort and general flackery in favor of questionable claims by one
well known USCF board member.

"Support" from the nearly-an-IM is, in effect,
precisely the opposite. It's akin to lending
"support" to vegetarianism, by stating that
Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian.


Leaving aside his own well-known claims to being "nearly an IM", of
course, and his alleged 2450 rating.

Not so fast! Mr. IMnes' actual claim was that
/in Europe/ he was once a nearly-an-IM with a
[presumably FIDE] rating of 2450. That seems
to zap the idea of him claiming to have had such
a USCF rating, since the USCF has not yet
taken over jurisdiction of Europe (one cannot
predict the future, however...).
