Trollgar again cites "Our Expertise" by
samsloan
Over on chessdiscussion.com Polgar and Truong are again writing about
how the USCF would greatly benefit from their expertise.
Susan Polgar wrote "Instead of allowing Paul and I to use our
expertise to help the USCF". Later Truong chimes in about how the USCF
could announce that Truong will "conduct a seminar on promoting
chess".

Joel Channing Talked a Better Game than He Played
In Joel Channing's final interview, as reported in the New York Times,
he said that since chess is a "zero-sum game" (in that there is always
one winner and one looser) his efforts to make the USCF run like a
business failed.

Polgar Blog Humor by
samsloan
These remarks are all being posted today on Susan's Blog at:
http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-sad-day-for-uscf.html
Some of the remarks are so typical of Paul Truong a/k/a "The Fake Sam
Sloan" that he must have written them. For example:
"I bet you we'll be able to get rid of Polgar and deport her back to
Hungary soon.
"Hah! That is a laugh Mr. Laughing Laugherty!

Joel Channing's Threats To Resign by
samsloan
Now, Joel Channing has posted to the USCF Issues Forum a statement
that he resigns effective immediately if the vote to cancel the
"Internet Insurance" passes. The problem with this is that at every
meeting while I was on the board, Channing said that he was
considering resigning. This is clearly part of his bullying tactics,
saying "If you don't do things my way, I am taking my ball and...

GetClub Chess further improved as seen against Rybka !!! by
Sanny
Today after studing 10-12 games of Beginner Level against Help Bot, I
found earlier GetClub was not defend its King properly. So a few
improvements were done in GetClub Chess to Save its King. As I saw
Help Bot easily taking the GetClubs King While Beginner was moving its
pieces at wromg places.
The game was much improved after this modification.

Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids by

In one of the most preposterous, ridiculous and absurd claims
imaginable, Joel Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids in her
program.
However, there is no evidence that Polgar has any kids in her program.
Polgar has no schools, no students and no program anywhere, as far as
anybody has been able to find out.
