In response to criticisms on the USCF Forums regarding the fact that
Susan Polgar refused to defend her Woman's World Championship title in
1998-1999, Susan has just today posted on her blog that she has a
"Good Relationship" with Xie Jun now.

I would like to hear Xie Jun say that. I would also like to hear the
guy Susan slandered during the USCF Election campaign say that.

I doubt that either of them will say that.

Where are those "pesky documents with 'FIDE' and 'World Championship'
printed on them"? They do not exist. There are no such documents. They
are products of your imagination.

FIDE decides the Woman's World Championship, not you or me or Susan
Polgar. Unlike the Overall or "Men's" World Championship which have
had several disputed championships, not unlike the Heavyweight Boxing
Championship, FIDE has always regulated the Woman's World Championship
since 1927 and the title has never been disputed.

The Woman's World Champions since 1927 have been Menchik, Rudenko,
Bykova, Rubetsova, Bykova (again), Gaprindashvili, Chiburdanidze, Xie
Jun, Polgar, Xie Jun (again), Zhu Chen, Stefanova, and Xu Yuhua (the
current world champion).

As can be plainly seen, Polgar won the Woman's World Championship only
one time. That was in 1996.

As to what Don Schultz found, that was that the unofficial World
Championship for Girls Under-16 held in England in 1981 was on a FIDE
list. This is noteworthy because the first official FIDE World
Championship for Girls Under-16 was held in Dresden, Germany in 1982
and Polgar did not win it. However, regardless of whether the 1981
event is considered a world championship or not, it is only a World
Championship for Girls Under-16, not a Woman's World Championship.

Since there are no other Woman's World Championships in dispute, it is
clear that Susan Polgar won the Woman's World Championship only one
time. Nevertheless, she continues to refer to herself as THE World
Chanmpion (omitting the word "Women's"). She is apparently taking a
leaf from Bobby Fischer's page, since Fischer calls himself the still
current World Champion (claiming that the title was taken from him
illegally) and similarly Susan Polgar says that she is still the world
champion too. However, these "world championships" claimed by Fischer
and Polgar are not recognized by FIDE, and as long as the USCF is a
member of FIDE we cannot recognize them either.

As for your obviously bogus "ethics complaints" (you fail to mention
that these are your complaints) they are obviously politically
motivated nonsense, as anybody can see who looks at them.

By the way, I have the official title of FM (equivalent to FIDE
Master) recognized by the World Chinese Chess Federation, as you will
find if you search their website.
