Bill Goichberg for Executive Director of the United States Chess
Federation

Let's face it. Bill Goichberg is already the Acting Executive Director
of the United States Chess Federation. He has been so and has served
without pay since Grant Perks was fired.

I think that Bill Goichberg is and ought to be made permanent as
Executive Director.

There will be a lot of objections to this on Conflict of Interest
Grounds. This is a bogus grounds. There is no conflict of interest.
Bill Goichberg owns and operates the biggest chess tournament
organizing company in America, the Continental Chess Association. It
is in the best interests of the Continental Chess Association for the
USCF to prosper. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest.

Furthermore, there is no choice. Records have been set in recent years
as to the Worst Executive Director (a title currently held by George
DeFeis) and the Shortest Executive Director (a title currently held by
Mike Nolan). I personally thought that Frank Niro was doing a
wonderful job, but I have been proven wrong. His heart may have been
in the right place, but Frank made some very serious mistakes which
have hurt the organization.

I believe that Bill Goichberg will offer to do the job for a low
salary, certainly less than the 6-figure salary we paid to DeFeis. I
believe that the Executive Board will have really no choice but to
accept Bill's offer, possibly as early as this weekend at the meetings
in Boca Raton, Florida.

I heard he has a good reputation.
So, I'd vote for him.

As long as Brenda is calling the shots behind the scene, I'm for it. As it
is Bill still hasn't submitted the results on his Thanksgiving weekend event
in Philly. I think he has enough to do without taking on more
responsibilities.

Let's be real here. Bill Goichberg acts like he owns the USCF anyway and is
largely responsible, with Don Schultz and a few others of that ilk, for the
mess.

Can there be any doubt about what is really going on behind the scenes at
USCF headquarters?

What a joke.

Tom Klem

Maybe. But then perhaps the true Captains should be allowed to go down with
their ship.

Goichberg's hiring, it if happens, will cement the USCF as a primarily New
York organization. This has always been part of the problem--I'm not sure
how much reach the USCF has ever had away from the East Coast.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Perhaps it's time for the Western States {whatever} to rise from the ashes
once more. Certainly, Horowitz wouldn't object.

Isn't the USCF moving its headquarters to Crossville, TN?
