I bought a used Fritz 8 program on e-bay. It has a Kasparov training cd as part of the Fritz 8 Champion Edition package. The Fritz program works great for me, but when I use the training cd it will not show me the board. All I see is the video of the person doing the training. I have seen Chessbase training cd's before and the board was always on one side of the screen. Has anyone else had...

I haven't commented on this, hoping someone else would do it for me, as people tend to avoid tangling with unbalanced people. But I've reached my limit after reading many dozens of unbalanced, vile, obscene, racist, misogynist, profane and idiotic posts by one certain individual who appears to get off by excreting the contents of his scatological mind on this thread. Sam, I don't a fig about...

In fact, I do have been plans for the USCF which are, in short, to take over the world. However, for the time being, I have to have much more modest goals. Right now, I need to be like the Little Dutch Boy who stuck his finger in the ass. You must know the story, but if you do not, Holland is majority below sea level, but they keep their country going by building huge pussy to

I strongly advocate complete sexual freedom for all USCF members. Vote for me for 4 more years! If you vote for me, you'll get a free blowjob from my wife. If you can convince your friends to vote for me, you'll get a free blowjob from my girlfriend also. Sam Sloan

Here are some of the links. Check it out for yourself. I'm all for wife swapping and big weekly orgy. All USCF members should join. http://www.samsloan.com/sfl.htm http://www.samsloan.com/league.htm http://www.emptymirrorbooks.com/keenan/c1969-1.html

I'm sure that the slate that Dubeck, Marinello and I put together will easily win the next election. Dubeck is proven to be a fox in chess politics. He helped me get elected. Now he'll knock out the Polgar machine as well. Please help by voting for me for 4 more years. Sam Sloan

Anybody have any experience with Saitek service? The b5 square stopped sensing a couple months ago, on my Mephisto Exclusive. Its only about 10 months old, so it is warranted. The main number puts you through the standard key tree...1 for sales, 2 for accounting, 3 for service, etc. The service recording says, phone answering hours are from 8am-12pm (Pacific) but there has never been an...

Has anyone managed to get the new Fritz 10 engine to work in Chessbase? I am unable to select my Deep Fritz 10 engine in Chessbase 9, due to the engine not showing in the engine list in Chessbase 9. I realize the engine now resides in the Common Files\Chessbase folder, but seems to be in a new format - .engine not .eng . I have copied the new engine into the Chessbase\Engines folder, and...

It is not a question of the board working with or against sponsors. The problem is Bill Goichberg conducting negotiations for the US Championship in complete secrecy. Bill Goichberg consults with nobody and tells nobody what he is doing. He is self-appointed as "THE DECIDER". Similarly, Bill Goichberg keeps writing letters to the USCF's attorney Michael Matsler (the same attorney who opposed me...

Hi, I have a question related to the set ELO levels on Palm HIARCS. Has anyone who has an established ELO level (either USCF or European) played any of the set ELO levels on Palm HIARCS ? Do you feel they are reasonably accurate ? I suspect that even when setting the ELO levels to e.g. 1500 ELO (around my level I estimate) it is playing a fair bit stronger than a human rated (European) at...

I am considering writing a book entitled: Zsuzsa and Me: The Whole Story In all these past twenty years, I have only told two or three people what really happened between me and her. I have kept quiet about it all these years to protect her and her family. Now that it is apparent that it will be a hard election campaign, I guess I will have to tell the story anyway, so I might as well try...

Bill Goichberg made a big mistake by attacking me. Anyone who attacks me will be destroyed politically. I got rid of Tanner. Now it will be Goichberg and Channing. This ******* wants to recall my election. He'll pay. Dubeck won't let Goichberg get away with this. Vote for me for 4 more years! Sam Sloan

This is erroneous, Bill. AF4C has run five US Championships in the last seven years - three in Seattle (2000-2003) and two in San Diego (2004 and 2006). The Seattle events were organized by Yvette-Nagel Seirawan (Yasser's wife), who is an experienced event organizer. I travelled to San Diego a number of times in 2004 to participate in local organizing committee meetings; that year, the event was...

Now on even Beginner Level will give tough competition. So make sure you play well else you are going to loose. Bye Sanny Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html

I support Dubeck and Marinello because they helped me get elected. They will form a new slate to take control of the USCF. I hope you will vote for our slate. Sam Sloan
