While the USCF is using its credit line to make payroll, not collecting
on roughly $100,000 in accounts receivable and talking about going to
the LMA for operating funds, I find it amazing that the EB can decide to
"help" Kamsky with free advertising in CL and online. Free advertising
isn't free to the USCF. Free advertising when cost constraints have
forced the cutting of eight pages from CL (hat doesn't even address the
issue of eliminating CL all together)? Free advertising for Kamsky, or
anyone else, is simply giving away money that the USCF does not have.
Instead of thinking about helping Kamsky, how about helping the USCF?!

At this point, IMMHO, bankruptcy would be the best medicine this
organization could ever be given. Get a Trustee in Bankruptcy in and
the EB out; freeze the assets; restructure the organization.

Sorry, but I disagree.

Gata Kamsky is the first serious US contender for the World Chess
Championship since Fischer played Spassky in 1972.

The "Fischer Boom" caused major growth in the popularity of chess and
in USCF Membership.

There are differences. Kamsky is not nearly as colorful as Fischer was
but Rustam Kamsky will be available for comic relief.

Also, we knew that Fischer would beat Spassky if only we could get him
to sit down at the board and play the game. Kamsky has chances against
Topalov but he still has to be regarded as the underdog. Devoting
pages in Chess Life to Kamsky is clearly appropriate, far better than
giving pages to you-know-who who retired from chess years ago.

Tell you what, Rob. Let's make a deal.

You stop posting this Soup sop and I will in return stop calling you
"The Robber".

I will just call you the "Internet front-money scammer" or something
less objectionable and more accurate.

Deal?

**** off sloan!

who in their right mind would make a deal with you? your entire career is
about these connections you have; real imagined and plain made-up. without
them, what have you to say to anyone else?

its one matter to have raised hell at uscf [deserved], but another not to
have done anything about any single item of it which benefits anyone else -
instead the result of your actions will surely destroy the thing you love?

you seem to be the last person to appreciate the result of what you do - and
if this is libertarianism, then that term means nothing more than wanton
egoic irresponsibility and grandstanding for some gallery of people out
there beyond the moron-layer, and the only thing 'free' about such
expressions is its freedom from any sense whatever

get it yet? if you can work with no other people at all, then your /real/
dedication to chess has no social role - consider that for your future,
otherwise you might as well claim to be as adult a person as was Fischer,
who was despised

The day he was elected
The chess world did frown
And they gapsed in such horror
At the B.S. that went down
Then Goichberg spoke up
And he said "leave Sam Sloan alone"
He could tell right away
That SLoan was easy to own

Easy to own
A dog with a bone
E-E-E-E-Easy to own
E-E-E-E-Easy
E-E-E-E-Easy
Easy to own

Sloan attacked without mercy
Who the board told him to
While his puppet masters
Cop an attitude
So he sues Paul and Susan
Everyone else to
He's just so easy to own
Dog with a bone

E-E-E-Easy
E-E-E-Easy
E-E-E-Easy
Easy to own


Makes a fool of himself
Makes fools outta his friends
Makes his family hate him
Make em wish he was dead
But he needs attention
So he will go on
Just whining and moaning
Cause he's east to own


E-E-E-Easy
E-E-E-Easy
E-E-E-Easy
Easy to own

Sung to the tune of "Bad to the bone"
