Just curious here. Because Chess960 is a bit cumbersome to run manually with having the set up randomized (and also Combinatorial purists get upset over it), I was curious what would be the best way to run Chess960 where players control the placement of pieces and have an pre-opening before the game begins. As of now, going to give this version the name Thompson Chess960 (or IAGO Standard...

On Sunday, Nov. 4, 2007, the Exposition Park Chess Club hosted a free, unrated, three-round tournament at the Exposition Park Library http://www.lapl.org/branches/06.html] in Los Angeles. The tournament consisted of four quads, the fourth of which was assisted by Christophe Carter who functioned as the club's house player. There were, therefore, a total of fifteen players who were attracted...

I detected a change in Channing during the meeting. He was the only board member who made any reference to the "Fake Sam Sloan" matter and he did so several times. I suspect that Joel Channing is no longer in bed with Polgar and is no longer her strongest supporter on the board. He seems to have turned away from her much as Erik Anderson and Eric Moskow have done. Sam Sloan

Over on the USCF Forums, Mark Nibbelin (who is one of those religious nuts) plus Steve Owens ("Steve of Tennessee") have been defending the Fake Sam Sloan on the ground of that the Real Sam Sloan is just as bad. Someone has pointed out that this is like saying that a rape victim deserved to be raped because she was wearing revealing clothing. The debate rages on. Here is a recent posting:

There was a motion to hold the next board meeting in person rather than online as has been previously announced. The vote barely passed 4-3, with Truong, Polgar and Jim Berry voting against. Randy Hough took a long time to make up his mind while somebody hummed the "Jeopardy" theme tune. Finally, Hough voted to hold it in person. I believe that Truong and Polgar had already told the board that...

Mike Nolan has posted extremely interesting data about USCF Members by sex and age. Thank you Mike Nolan. USCF members by sex shows what many chess teachers have observed, which is that among elementary school children, the girls are nearly as interested in chess as the boys, but as the girls grow older they lose interest quickly and almost all of them stop playing. USCF members by age shows...
