I saw an argument today over a touch-move rule, and I can't find a clear answer. What happened was, it was white's move and white was making a capture. White first picked up the black piece off the board to capture. Then white began moving the white queen to make the capture, but before finishing the move, he changed his mind and wanted to take with a pawn instead. If the touch-move rule is...

What do you think might happen to the USCF if it were made widely know the exact nature of the past of certain member(s) of the executive board. Would a parent be willing to expose their child to someone that advocate adult men having inapproiate "relations" with girls who are not yet of the age of majority?(not the age of consent) How would they feel about someone who was arrested for...

I had a thought recently that it would be nice to know which GM's have the most miniatures against other Master to GM strength players. Had anyone seen any books or websites that may be devoted to this type of info? Thanks in advance, Matt

Sam Sloan, Joe Lux, Don Schultz, Mike Goodall and Stephen Jones. This is the senior citizens team that have ruled the USCF for nearly 300 years and we'll rule the USCF for another 300 more. We need to keep the USCF the way it is.

I played an online 5/0 blitz tournament recently on a well-known server; in one game, we came down to an ending with a rook and two pawns on each side and no real distinguishing features except---- I had a minute and a half left on my clock and the other guy had 9 seconds. He started repeatedly offering a draw. I did not accept and ran him out of time and won. He sent me a very angry message...

I played in my First USCF Rated Tournament, the North Carolina Open, in 1956. As a tournament player for more than 50 years, just about everybody in chess knows me or has heard my name. The USCF has annual revenues of $3.2 million, down from $6.5 million at its peak. $3.2 million is enough for us to live very well. Yet, the USCF has lost money for 9 of the last 11 years. There is no excuse...

Dear Al, Since you do not mention it in your letter but rather thank Joel Channing, I assume that you must not be aware that a check for $24,000 from the USCF to Jamie Anson bounced last week. I asked Bill Goichberg about this at the Foxwoods tournament this past weekend. Goichberg acknowledged that the check had bounced but said that this was a clerical error caused when the clerk...
