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". http://www.chessdiscussion.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1069

Joel Channing Talked a Better Game than He Played by samsloan
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. http://gambit.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/united-states-chess-federation-executive-board-member-resigns/ That is not...

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...

Channing claims that Polgar has 300,000 kids by samsloan
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.
