Former USCF President, Max Dlugy, arrested in Russia on fraud charges by Sam Sloan
On 18 May 2005 05:50:08 -0700, "Tyrone Slothrop" wrote: Dlugy was ranked No. 1 in the World Blitz Chess Association from 1988 to 1993.

Sam Sloan's Candidate's Statement in May Chess Life, page 12 by Sam Sloan
SAM SLOAN 2005 will be remembered as the Year of the USCF Election Fraud. Do not believe the fantastic claims make by some of the candidates here. Those who claim that they have saved the USCF have not done so and are actually trying to destroy it. By the way, they are also trying to stop the publication of my candidates statements in Chess Life, so do not be surprised if you never get to read...

Goof list of "Dangerous Moves" movie? by Hauke Reddmann
The German dub went over TV lately. Since "Nehmen Sie das Patt an?" ("Do you accept the stalemate?" - No, the geezer shall play some illegal move instead!!) sounds like a synchro goof, which other chess bugs did you detect? I found quite a few continuity errors on-board. -- Hauke Reddmann :-EX8 His-Ala-Sec-Lys-Glu Arg-Glu-Asp-Asp-Met-Ala-Asn-Asn

Diagramming Software- Big Batches by Aaron Deskins
Howdy all, I'm looking for software that can print (or save as graphic file) many games in a pgn file and do it all at once. I have some pgn files that have 300+ games, and I'd like to print diagrams of all (or some of the games), but I don't want to spend ten hours loading each game individually then printing it. I can already do this. Any software recommendations? Thanks --

This Second in Chess on Sofia Round 4 by PeteCasso
The day of the highly interesting, but strange openings. Topalov vs Kramnik is a Petrof which turned into a kind of opposite colours Ruy Lopez type of position where the Knights are exchanged on c6, here on c3, with the d pawn recapturing and Topalov castling long, Kramnik having castled short. The position is at move 13, but both players have already consumed about 90 minutes, thus they have to...

Tim Taylor's wife, Barbara Taylor by Sam Sloan
Tim Taylor's wife, Barbara Taylor Now that Tim Taylor's sex life is open for discussion, this brings up a subject I have often wondered about. In the 1970s, Tim Taylor used to bring his wife, Barbara, to all Goichberg chess tournaments. She was one sexy hot bitch to beat all other sexy hot bitches. She talked sexy, walked sexy, dressed sexy, in every way acted sexy and she was beautiful.

This Second in Chess on Sofia Round 5 by PeteCasso
Yaay! All 3 games are d4 games, what a relief from the Petrofs! Not long ago Topalov has suggested to relegate the Petrof to theme tournaments in so far the tournaments are not already Petrof theme tournaments! Anand vs Adams started out in fact with c4 and a Reti-like Bg2 fianchetto with Black responding with a hedgehog construct. So if that pesky clubmate of yours likes to play the hedgehog,...
