Definition of a USCF Employee by samsloan
The real issue here is that the rule that an employee may not be a board member or a candidate for election to the board is not just a USCF rule.

If employees could be board members and run the organization then all corporations would convert to not-for-profit...

The New York Times for March 3, 1992 reported: The most recent such event was the Melody Amber Tournament at the Vista Palace Hotel in Roquebrune/ Cap Martin, Monaco. (The tourney name is that of the infant daughter of the sponsor, J. J. van Oosterom, the former director of Volmac Software Group.)

Hello all: How many possible Chess games are there? Well, I think I've come up with an easy, intuitive disproof of a number one often sees. Perhaps some of the mathematically savvy readers of this group can give their opinion of my claim. (Thanks in advance, should you choose to do so.) Here's a number I often see:

Chess Titans freeware on Vista and Kasparovs in-flight chess programare so weak by raylopez99
In Microsoft Vista OS there is a free game is called "Chess Titans", which, at the highest level, even a class C player can regularly beat. And the crummy program doesn't even allow you to save games, it just tracks how many games you've won. What a joke. 3D graphics are nice however. Likewise for Kasparov's sponsored program that you find on some Boeing 777 airplanes--even at the highest...
