Does Belarus president Lukasenkom play chess? He seems very clever man, so I wouldn' be surprised if he is a good chess player.

http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?200302178070-12866780 Check out player #3 on this crosstable. It appears that a Chicago junior high school kid, rated 418, swept a group of experts and masters 6-0 at the 2003 US Amateur Team, then dropped out of sight. This HAS to be a mistake, right? Can anyone enlighten me as to what happened here? Thanks in advance.

Ambassador wrote: I say this because I know, as a FIDE Delegate, what is coming next. I ACTUALLY WON A USCF ELECTION (Regional Vice Presdient) as a write in candidate. Sam Sloan has never won a chess election, and will never win, becasue he keeps on LYING. I was also elected VP of the TExas Chess Association.

Does anyone remember when Bill Brock was constantly posting stuff about Sloan? Then Sloan kicked his butt and took his man-hood at the Chess Showdown, and that was the last of Bill Brock. Where is he now?

FIDE Federations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search FIDE is the largest organization in the world, in terms of number of nations. There are at present 158 member nations of FIDE. There were 159 until recently, when one was dropped. The list fluctuates, as new nations join and sometimes national federations collapse or are unable to pay their dues.

Botvinnik and the rest of the younger generation were not liked in the 1933 USSR Championships. In the game Botvinnik v Dus Chotimorsky, the latter played on in a known-drawn rook ending where he was a pawn up. Apparently they even played on with just K & R each until the TD stepped in. Dus Chotimorsky said he was going to play on until 150 moves had been reached. The score of the game is now...

Another example of Sloan's legendary inability to research and report. I guess I also missed one of his legendary retractions and apologies for the screw up. No doubt, some chess database will now list this as an Evans game. Randy Bauer wrote in message ...

Hello, I am completing detailed results of the Student Team Championship (AKA Student Olympiads) started in 1954 and ceased in 1977. A lot has been done but there are still some gaps left.

I you happen to owe a tournament book from Sajtar's excellent series (or any other source) please be so kind and get in...

All or almost all chess columns to be cut from Chess Life When the news came that the Larry Evans chess column was being cancelled, naturally we assumed that it was a political move, because several times in past years Evans has been fired by various politicians, only to be reinstated later. However, this was followed with the news that the Rohde column had been cancelled too.

rgc groups are not serious most of the time. I think that now is a proper time for serious people to be serious about the situation which involves two activities: chess and Wikipedia. Please, set aside your attitude toward Sam Sloan and look at the issues, at the big picture. One of the issues is the validity of the whole cocept of Wikipedia, which right now is under doubt. Sam is providing...
