Is Bill Hall really out sick again or just a lazy bum who doesn't want to work? by
samsloan
Is Bill Hall really out sick again or just a lazy bum who doesn't want
to work?
Turns out that ever since I filed my lawsuit, Bill Hall has been out
sick.
It seems that every time something important is going on, Bill Hall
suddenly gets the flu or something.
Remember when we were trying to finalize the plans for the US

Any comments on using a backgammon doubling cube for chess? by
Rich Hutnik
This idea deals with the draw issues with chess, and adds another
element that would be interested to people watching chess who normally
don't play. This game will have you doubling when you think you can
win, and challenge you to go for a win, even if challenged, because
you get more points.
For chess:
1. Players play to an agreed number of points, or a set number of
games (the player with the...

Texas Tech Student Paper Covers Sloan Action by
parrthenon@cs.com
HOW LONG IS LONG?
"Polgar said she believes Sloan's lawsuit does have
merit and did not want to make further comment."
Oh, come on -- this is a college newspaper. They
obviously made a mistake. I'm 100% certain that Susan
believes that Sloan's lawsuit does NOT have merit. As one
of the defendents - and as one who has read his suit and been
sued unsuccessfully by Sloan before -- I expect the...

How about borrowing from progressive chess for handicapping of players? by
Rich Hutnik
Rather than the idea of removing pieces as balancing, how about the
following levels of handicapping (greater handicap):
* First, have the weaker player choose white or black.
* Allow the weaker player a chance to score points on a draw, but the
stronger player doesn't.
* Allow the weaker player to play white, and get two non-capture moves
to start before their opponent gets a move.
* Three...

Chess pages that show chess moves and not notation by
Terry Terry
One reason I really never studied chess was because the notation was
too messy.
I would like to find some chess sites that use pictures instead of
notation to show some basic chess.
Can anyone recommend one?
Also, I saw a book in the past that showed common mating positions.
Most of them were to a castled king position. Anyone know of such a

A Typically Misleading Statement by Gregory Alexander by
samsloan
A typically false and misleading statement by Gregory Alexander.
He makes it sound like he used to play 20 years ago and has been
organizing for 20 years.
In reality, Gregory joined the USCF for the first time in his life
only recently, and played in the first USCF games in his life on
8-12-07, less than two months go. It was a three game affair. Gregory
has never directed a USCF rated chess...

Typesetting chess books by
tOmmetje
Wow, this is something completely different from all the other forum
posts here. When you read a chess book, do you prefer small (like A5)
or bigger (more towards A4) pages, do you prefer one-column text or
two-column text. And, in case of a two-column layout, do you prefer
the textmoves (the real game moves) to be typeset as this:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 exd4

Rob Mitchell exposed as a Big Time Con Artist by

Take a look at http://gothicchess.blogspot.com/
It makes it clear that Rob Mitchell is a big time con artist:
"Wire us $30,000 and we'll be there
They called Thursday night. Mike spoke up. No hello, no pleasantries
exchanged. Just this: "So far all of our costs and research for this
has set us back as least $30,000 of that $35,000 we had budgetted for.

Bill Goichberg and his 17,000 postcards by
samsloan
Too bad Bill Goichberg did not think about this when he mailed 17,000
postcards attacking me or when he posted numerous attack pieces to the
USCF Issues Forum.
Why is it that Bill only becomes concerned about such matters when
evidence is developed implicating candidates that he supported for a
time?

How to Kill a Forum USCF Style by

WELCOME BACK TO THE THIRD GRADE
The new USCF rules amount to protecting the

Take Sam Sloan's outing of board member Robert
