Default The USCF & Kaiser Wilhelm II

The USCF: its chief members are not from the US, its main business is
not chess and it is not a Federation.
(c) Kaiser Wilhelm II

Nice troll post. But it will never work. I bet you don't get even
a single response.

Is this intended to mimic the famous dictum that the Holy Roman
Empire "was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire"? That was
Voltaire, not Kaiser Bill.

Good job he didn't take you up on your bet, as you've manifestly lost.

The best part of English (and, I assume, European) copyright law
is that, as well has having the `moral right' to have one's name
associated with one's work, one also has the moral right *not* to
have one's name associated with something that one did not write.

I did indeed think it was Kaiser Bill; and when I looked up just the
phrase no one was saying who said it - well I know now!
Now we can all get back to the extremely important business of Truong
and Sloan and Polgar and Brock and all the others!
