The Cat in the Hat Comes Back by samsloan
Many will recall the incident at the 2006 World Open which had a $20,000 first prize where a previously little known chess player wearing a big floppy hat defeated Grandmaster Smirin, one of the strongest players in the world. After that, when forced to remove his hat, his play became much worse, dropping to the Class B level. He became known as "The Cat in the Hat". An article appeared in...

Did Truong Take the Fifth? by samsloan
I have heard that Paul Truong took the Fifth Amendment numerous times during his deposition in Lubbock Texas. Is this true? Can anybody confirm this? It is my understanding that one cannot take the Fifth selectively, refusing to answer some questions but not others. If one wants to take the Fifth, one must refuse to answer any questions other than identifying your name and address, or one must...

It is impossible to completely eliminate fraud in title applications by samsloan
There is nothing in place to stop someone from doing again what Tanner did. However, the MSA makes it noticeable, which is how Tanner got caught. Back in 1992-1993 when these events actually occurred, it was impossible to detect this sort of thong. In short, it is never possible to completely eliminate fraud. Far more serious things have happened in FIDE. For example, in about 1998 a player...

Endgame Tablebases? by GK
I remember a discussion on this group some years ago about generating endgame tablebases. IIRC, there was someone who was interested in generating specific tablebases, but was advised against it because of the REALLY long time it would take to generate, and the sheer size of the output files meant it would be far to big anyway. I just wondered, with the advance in technology, huge hard disks...

Jerry Hanken (1934-2009) by samsloan
Jerry Hanken, long time chess journalist and chess master, has just died in Los Angeles three weeks after undergoing surgery, I am deeply sorry for the passing of Jerry Hanken. I had known him since at least 1966, perhaps earlier. He helped me in many ways over the years, especially during the difficult times after I was elected to the USCF Executive Board in July 2006.
