Bill Goichberg has been circulating a "new plan". Essentially, his new plan calls for a reinstatement of the "no magazine membership". Regular dues for those who want the magazine will be $42. Those who do not want the magazine will only have to pay $29. In the fiscal year ending May 30, 2008, three weeks from today, the USCF will have lost $300,000. Bill Goichberg seems to think that this...

I found 5 Million Copies of Chess Master has been Sold and it Costs $19.95. So ChessMaster Creator has earned $100 Million Dollars. Look he http://www.game-remakes.com/game.php?id=126 Chess Master Sold 5 Million Copies for $19.95 each !!! How much good is ChessMaster to GetClub?

Polgar is right for once As everybody knows, I have been extremely critical of Paul Truong and Susan Polgar. However, a posting by Polgar that became public today is so obviously correct that I need to point that out. In an online debate with Bill Goichberg, in a message dated 5/6/2008 10:05:55 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, SusanPolgar writes: "You on your own made a number of decisions shortly...

Despite playing so good game GetClub was unable to stop TuringEngine bring its Queen. Normal Level which thinks for 1-2 min was unable to win.

Game Played between turingengine and normal at GetClub.com

Advance Level thinks for 30 min/ move So it is very difficult for me

Take a look at the specific proposals that Susan Polgar advocates.

Here is an example, "Both Paul and I offered to go to these events to represent the USCF. Paul offered to conduct free classes or seminars to teach parents, coaches, organizers, and...

Elo's book, The Rating of Chess Players, Past and Present, is reprinted today. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891277 Professor Elo's book, long out of print and almost impossible to obtain, has just been reprinted. Sam Sloan

Here is an example of the improprieties of Forum Moderation. This was posted in February 2007 at a time when I was both a member of the board and a candidate for re-election. One forum moderator, Tanstaafl, who we now know to be Herbert Rodney Vaughn, and who filed a 400 page ethics complaint against me in color (at USCF Expense) advocates that I should be permanently banned from posting to the...
