Beatriz Marinello fired her replacement !! On the fateful day of August 20, 2003, Beatriz Marinello, who had just been elected USCF President a week earlier, walked into the USCF offices in New Windsor and infamously fired 17 staff members. One of the people she fired was Tom Brownscombe, who had taken her job as scholastic coordinator after Beatriz had left under a cloud in March 2000.

I went to USCF.ORG, but could not find any site. Is that the correct site. I let my membership expire, since I do very little OTB play. Should I renew my membership? With all this controversy, will my membership still be good? Who is running USCF...as far as ratings, etc.? I really want to know. Has anyone paid the 10 double years, and gotten their LIFE membership? I did it for about 4...

I am going to post a nude photo I obtained from a most reliable source that may be of WIM Beatriz Marinello when she was younger. DEAR GUTLESS SACK OF ****: If you are going to do such a half-assed and pathetic parody, at least have enough smarts to put up a link to some actual picture, of say a naked ape or a couple naked dykes. Putting up a link that does not work...

The fact that the Icelandic goverment is offering chess player Bobby Fischer asylum in Iceland does not make any difference. There is no way he could go from Japan to Iceland without a stop in the United States. One travelling to Iceland from Japan would have to fly to either MSP or ORD, and then change planes for Iceland. There is no other way to get from Japan to Iceland, so Fischer is sunk no...

I posted here that Judy and Joan, the identical twins who work for the USCF, have worked there for 18 years. It seems that I was a bit off. They have actually worked there for 36 years. The USCF moved from New York City to Newburgh in 1967. It appears that Judy and Joan were among the first hires after the USCF arrived in Newburgh.

$60,000 for the Crossville Architect ?! The revelation has just come out that the USCF has signed a contract to pay $60,000 to an architect in Crossville to design a new building the USCF is supposed to be building there. I cannot believe this! We have always been told by the Hanke Gang that we were getting a no money down construction loan and so were getting the building essentially for free.

Larry Parr has posted elsewhere his vision of a Broadway Musical based on the move to Crossville. I think this idea has actual merit. Beatriz would be prefect as the much maligned and misundestood Eva Peron type character as played by Medonna. For some reason, Larry Parr did not post it here, so I am stealing it and posting it herewith:.

What is up with Sam Sloan? I visited his website, and just since 1990 he seems to have 2 or 3 kids by different wives? He had a Pakistani, now it seems an Oriental, not sure what became of these women. How many more wives & kids did Sloan have? Where are all these women and his kids???

This guy describes himself as a "poor person", takes the bus to the Court hearing, and then is sleeping under a bridge? But it must be a pretty good bridge, with so much Internet access!!! SPAM SAM - What a great name!!!!

Turns out the August 2003 crisis was not a crisis Everyone has heard the story: Beatriz Marinello was elected USCF President on August 11, 2003 in Los Angeles. Immediately after she took office, she found out that the USCF had no money in the bank, zero. The USCF did not even have the money to pay the guaranteed prizes at the just concluded US Open in Los Angeles. Therefore, on August 20, 2003,...
