http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3512 "It is not one of the patterns that chess grandmasters automatically have in their repertoire." Is he kidding? Rob

Yes, it has. In August and September, 2006, USCF President Bill Goichberg wrote five letters to attorney Michael Matsler of the Law firm of Rider, Weiner & Frankel, P.C. of Newburgh NY asking him how to stop Sam Sloan from taking office on the USCF Executive Board after Sloan had been elected by the members, or how to expel him from the board after he had taken office. The answer to these five...

Very Good. Thank you. Sam Sloan

Susan Polgar Sex Scandals The latest sex scandal occurred a few days ago when Susan Polgar sent a letter to the USCF Executive Director accusing rival candidate Joe Lux of sexual improprieties. Polgar followed up this email with a telephone call to the Executive Director demanding to know what he is going to do about that. Polgar sent blind carbon copies of this letter to several other...

Hi, Very nice forum. I hope to get to know each of you, in time. I visited a site the other day called InstantChess.com and was absolutely thrilled to find all the features they include. I don't know if anyone here plays there or not, but if you do, I'd be grateful to hear from you. Before i knew it, I was playing someone across the world and I made a friend that day. It has a feature...

mike goodall 10489032 PostPost:45481 Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 5:16 pm Sam Sloan is a radical who is not afraid of anybody. Members who want to shake things up should vote for Sam, since he certainly upsets the status quo. Many of his harshest critics are hypocrites who fear Sam will expose them. The other board members may be uncomfortable with Sam nipping at their heels, but the result is...

Entertaining article by Jeremy Spinrad about Elijah Williams at Chess Cafe. I was interested in the following, about the Staunton v. Williams match: " ... the impartial Löwenthal would support him in saying that Williams did not play fairly, doing his best to: ".wear out his invalid host. Upon some occasions he did not appear until mid-day had passed, in order that the game might be...

Long was Paul Keres chess career but ot so long was his life, just 59 years and he was gone--hard to believe. In 1991 he would be but 75 years old, it was already 16 years past his death. Michail Tal had written about Keres' outstanding expert knowledge of all possible travel paths, then he continues:

In the November 2004 issue of Chess Life (pg 26-27), John McCrary has a "Chess History" article "the history of special draw rules" - i.e. 50 moves, stalemate, and three-fold repetition. In the first paragraph he says that the major rule about draws (by agreement) will be covered in a future article. Can anyone tell me what issue that was in, and the page numbers? -- Replace you know what by...

Long before Kasparov went from chess to politics, Maroczy gave up his best chance at challenging Lasker, saying he was too engrossed in politics (eg Washington Times Sept 23, 1906). Does anyone know what Maroczy's political position was, and why he felt that this was going to for a time period keep him too busy to play a championship match, possibly forfeiting a substantial amount...

Hi Guys, We have recently posted Viswanathan Anand's interview. In this interview with Viswanathan Anand, he tells us about the importance of daily physical exercise for the chess players, his views on modification of draw rules, cheating at high-level tournaments, about the playing style of the world's strongest chess players, computer chess programs, how children can manage the balance of both...

What Chris Falter has done is post his own version and his own opinion of me, including some edited quotes of things I actually wrote, and elicited Mig's response to those quotes. Nowhere in the entire list of quotes above is there anything actually written or said by Erik Anderson. Mig has been a Sloan basher on the Internet for the last ten years. Here are a few facts:
