Eric Moskow gives money to tournaments so that he can play in those
tournaments. His FIDE rating is 2254, so he knows that he will not be invited to an All-Grandmaster tournament unless he sponsors it. Earlier this year, he played in the Gausdal GM-A in Gausdal, Norway, a tournament in which the LOWEST Rated player other than himself was Grandmaster Lajos Portisch, rated 2512. Moskow drew two games and lost the rest. Moskow agreed to sponsor the Reshevsky Memorial Tournament in Lubbock, Texas because it seemed to be a strong tournament that he would like to play in. When he realized that were questions about the organizers, he withdrew. I am sure that the event can still be held (and I for one would like to see it held) if Susan Polgar is willing to step aside and let the Texas Tech staff run it. Unfortunately, she so far has not been willing to step aside. By the way, thirty years ago Eric Moskow was one of the top junior players in the USA. However, he gave it all up to study and become a medical doctor. Bad choice: He should have become a poor GM rather than a rich doctor. Sam Sloan PS I wonder why it is called the Reshevsky Memorial. Why not call it the Carlos Torre Memorial (the best player in the history of Mexico) or the Ken Smith Memorial (the best player in Texas)? |

I will be objecting to the event on the grounds that Mr. Moskow is trying to BULLY me into a settlement. If that event is held at Texas Tech, I will run radio ads embarassing Texas Tech. Mr. Moskow will have leal problems, police, and he will probably get sued himself, if he continues to interfere in this litigation. I hope he keeps on trying to work out settlements. The closer he gets, the more I am likely to sue that ass hole. Marcus Roberts |

Sam Sloan- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If Troung were kept away from the tournament, and Moskow doesn't interfere with the evidence, the witnesses, and doesn't use the tournament as a place to hold a settlement meeting without me, then ok. The problem is that he is going to take over (becasue he has a GOD complex), and arrange a defacto settlement conference at the tournament. As I am not invited, this makes me end up suing him and Texas Tech. The tournament becomes the meeting site I was screaming about. You can't have all of the partities gather, and exclude me from a settlement meeting, becasue I am an "A" player. The chess tournament becomes part of the litigation in question, and for that not to happen, I need to be present at the tournament. It's tricky, Sam. Marcus Roberts |

This needs to happen right away. If I remember right, the chess tournament is November 9-16. Toward the latter part of the tournament, we need to have an open meeting to discuss the crisis. All USCF members need to be welcome who are part of the suit. Furthemore, GOD needs to offer to pay for the plane tickets and one night in a hotel for everyone Lafferty, Gordon, Roberts, Sloan, and everyone else who was mentioned. If that happens, and the Texas Tech police offer me security from Troung, then I will not object to the tournment. If I see a sneaky little nerd trying to form a new national chess assocaition, I'll seek a TRO against Texas Tech from holding that tournment, or make that tournment an item of public scorn. My offer is clear, Sam. WE NEED A PEACE CONFERENCE. Marcus |

Here is a reply posted on the Daily Toreador by a Texas Tech student: Law posted 10/27/07 @ 2:50 PM CST There is no reason for Susan to "step aside" and let other Tech employees run a tournament she is obviously the most capable of running. If that was a condition to the donation than it was unreasonable and she was right to reject it. |
