The Elo System by samsloan
On Apr 6, 1:06 am, "David Kane" wrote: Both the USCF and FIDE rating systems have elements not anticipated by Elo. Both essentially use the Elo algorithm and are Elo systems. The USCF is further from Elo than FIDE largely because it has a more difficult population to cover. Being different from Elo is not a bad thing. Although people can and do quibble over...

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. Here is what Joel Channing wrote in the BINFOS:

Susan's Rant Today by samsloan
Today, Susan launched into her usual rant of late. What I find interesting is that today Susan complained that Jerry Hanken had leaked confidential information to me and I in turned had used that confidential information in my opposition to her attorney's motion to dismiss. However, I am unaware of any confidential information, either in what Jerry Hanken leaked to me or in what I used in my...

Polgar Moving Back to Hungary - Is this an April Fools Joke? by samsloan
It is posted on Susan Polgar's Official Blog too, so it does not seem that it would be a hoax. http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2008/04/im-moving-back-to-hungary.html However, I still find it to be highly likely that this is an April Fools Day joke. We will find out tomorrow for sure.

If you are referring to accepting her back as a resident, of course they would. She was born there. They would have to. Remember that Hungary accepted back all those who defected during...

North American Chess Association by samsloan
There is a rumor bouncing around that Sevan Muradian and his North American Chess Association will be trying to take away from the USCF it's FIDE affiliation. Also, supposedly the North American Chess Association is trying to become the governing body of chess in Canada, Mexico and the USA. I can tell you that none of this will ever happen, so do not worry about it.

Help Bots new idea tickeled. by Sanny
Help bot suggested about the blockade strategy it helped GetClub play much stronger games now. I played two games with Beginner vs Rybka and found even Rybka is not able to get ahead and finish GetClub like it used to earlier. It is taking longer for Rybka to win against the Beginner Level. As Beginner is not allowing Rybka to take its pieces easily. The Games are ending with +10 Moves.

Why was Louis Watson Ranked the Number 4 Bridge Player in the World? by samsloan
I keep reading that in 1934 Louis H. Watson was ranked the number 4 bridge player in the world. He died tragically in 1936 at age 29. Why was he ranked number 4 ? Who were numbers 1, 2 and 3 ?? I have searched newspaper reports from 1932-1934 and it seems that Watson was winning almost everything. The one time that his team finished only second, it was attributed to a series of highly

Beginner atleast 1850+ Rated acording to FICS games. by Sanny
As few people said FICS gives correct Rating. I played 3 Games at FICS against Beginner Level, To my amazement Beginner won all the three games. It beat three players of Rating 1832 and 1700 and 1500. And Now FICS rates GetClub Beginner level as 1800+ So all those who used to say Beginner plays less than 1800 Look at this game. See how Beginner Sacrificed its Knight and Won the game.

Trusting the Executive Director by samsloan
If you have an Executive Director who is utterly worthless, or who does not tell the board what he is doing or who often lies about what he has done, then you have a situation where the ED cannot be trusted with such critical decisions as the hiring or firing of the Editor of Chess Life. The USCF has lost more than two million dollars since 1999 and is losing $300,000 more so far this year. None...
