I've team up with Beatriz Marinello. She's my friend and on my side now. We're both going after Channing, Schultz and Goichberg. I already filed ethics charges against the 3 stooges. If I can destroy Tanner, I can destroy them too. Vote for me in the next election. The USCF needs 4 more years of me. You can support me by donating money at www.samsloan.com. Sam Sloan

SAM SLOAN RECALL PETITION Donna Alarie, a USCF Delegate from Massachusetts, has mailed a petition to all Delegates seeking to recall Sam Sloan from the Executive Board. I have signed this petition and urge all delegates to do the same. See the links below for information regarding why a recall is appropriate. If you are a delegate and cannot find your copy of the petition, please

I have read about so many major chess events which had great controversies that I thought it might be interesting to look at things from a different perspective. What are some of the most important events in chess history which did not have controversies associated with them? Jerry Spinrad

Bauer and Korenman are both gay. I'll expose them the same way I did to Tanner. I'll make sure that Polgar, Bauer and Korenman will never be elected. I'll do whatever it takes to stop them. Vote for me for another 4 years. Sam Sloan

Phil Innes has, for many years, exerted an exasperating influence upon a great many of us. Now, he has a sidekick, the slightly more literate but equally evasive Rob Mitchell. It appears to be impossible to get to the bottom of Phil-ology, not least because of his sidekick's habit of attempting diversionary tactics right and left. So, if you've an opinion on the subject heading, please answer:

I'm looking for a recommendation for a chess clock to get as a present for a nephew. He's used to analog but I think I'd like digital to allow for increment play. He isn't active in USCF as far as I know. I'd also like to know a good place to get it, reliably, and well, uh, fast. :-) I haven't kept up with the market and I haven't seen a discussion of them in a while. K

I note that the 1874 book by Frederick William Longman (of Balliol College, Oxford) titled "Chess Openings" is available in its entirety online (as scanned page-images), courtesy of Google Books ( http://books.google.com/ ): http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC08564206&id=xkQCAAAAQAAJ&printsec=toc&dq=chess+openings&as_brr=1&sig=oOj21IdcM80-RsUfzL6P8jH5A8U#PPA1,M1 or...

I've played chess seriously since I was a teenager, but when I rediscovered backgammon a few years back, I realized that it is the superior game at present, at least for me. The "luck" factor is meaningless in the long term, and that is what matters. One does not need to know all kinds of "technical" information, as one does for high level chess. Duncan Suttles talked about this in an...

Although the Asian Games date back to 1951, where the premier edition took place in India, it is only recently when chess was recognized as a full-right member of the games. There were two individual rapid tournaments scheduled separately for men and women along with a mixed team tournament with classical time control. (...) Read more at http://www.olimpbase.org

Randy Bauer lied again. Susan Polgar has never run or organized a scholastic tournament. Susan Polgar has never taught a regular chess class in a school. Susan Polgar never even went to school herself. Susan Polgar has had no involvement with scholastic chess except for a few publicity appearances for which she was highly paid and a few recent scholastic tournaments in which she has entered her...

Another bug: A little while back I had a game in which, upon resuming, my castled position was half-undone, the Rook reverting to its original square. I worked around this by moving my King up, out of the way, and this slowed my attack on the opposite wing down a bit. Annoying, but no biggie. Now I am playing a very similar game, a Benoni again, and the precise same problem has occurred:...

Anyone tried playing on Infinia ? Is it easy to find 1-minute lightning games there ? I thought of joining but don't like the idea of installing the client software only to find that it is yet another site that leaves much to be desired. Is this the case ? Is Infinia user-friendly ? Thanks for your feedback.
