Default Truong "Answers" Redman

Take a look at the specific proposals that Susan Polgar advocates.
Each and every one of them advocates publishing more photos of Susan
Polgar in Chess Life magazine and advocates more publicity for Paul
Truong.

Here is an example, "Both Paul and I offered to go to these events to
represent the USCF. Paul offered to conduct free classes or seminars
to teach parents, coaches, organizers, and other interest parties ways
to generate publicity, interest, sponsorship, and donation. We were
even willing to pay our own expenses. All he asked for is a room and
proper announcements and promotion by the USCF"

All he asked for is a room and proper announcements.

Paul and Susan were elected to the USCF Executive Board which is
supposed to be a policy board which sets the policy. So far they have
not advocated any policy. Instead, they keep asking for Paul and Susan
to be sent to more events and for more publicity for Paul and Susan.

Then they add "Months and months went by and not even an inch has
moved."

Nothing is stopping them from renting their own room and making their
own announcements. They are quite good at that. What do they need the
USCF for?

Ever since she was elected the board, Susan has been on a whirlwind of
travel activities. Since August, she has been to Scotland, India,
Mexico, Hungary, Germany and I do not know how many other places. It
seems that she rarely has her feet on the ground.

I am increasingly worried that the USCF might be paying for all or
perhaps even some of these travel expenses.

Chess Life had a picture of Susan Polgar in almost every issue over a
period of two years, even though she did not play a single FIDE rated
game of chess during that entire period. That is what got her elected.
Apparently that did not improve the image of the USCF, however. Why
should we publish even more pictures of Susan when she does not even
play chess any more? Why not publish pictures of people who actually
do play chess?
