On USCF Forums, Bill Goichberg just posted the following regarding the
suspension of Beatriz Marinello from posting:

DECISION MADE BY MIKE NOLAN, SERVING AS A MODERATOR OF THE USCF FORUM;
BILL HALL, USCF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; AND BILL GOICHBERG, PRESIDENT OF
THE USCF


I was not aware of the above headline in advance and do not agree with
it. I expressed my personal opinion (that the info was confidential)
before any other Board member commented, and I did not claim that my
opinion was necessarily that of the whole Board.


Bill Goichberg


(remainder snipped)


What is going on here is that Bill Goichberg was gung-ho to suspend
both Beatriz Marinello and myself from posting to the USCF Forums, but
now that he is being challenged on this, he is saying that it was not
his fault, and that Mike Nolan should be blamed for the whole thing.


Mike Nolan is going to be made the fall-guy.


For those who have been wondering whether Goichberg is a man or a
mouse, now we know the answer. Goichberg is a mouse.

Subject: happy? change! of rules!

I note that November 11 is the Feast of Saint Martin.

I PROPOSED a TOURNAMENT to produce the highest number of songs relating
to, mentioning or with events occurring at Martinmas, St. Martin Day or
St. Martin eve.

11/11 happens to be Dostoyevski's birthday, also George Patton's! But I
don't know any songs about either. So a google produced

http://www.stmartin.org/MassTimes.htm
http://www.smpsv.com/mass.shtml
http://www.stmartinoftoursbeth.org/
[who of course have the traditional appeal of wanting their roof fixed]

But no mass specific to St. Martin.

A Life is found at
http://www.users.csbsju.edu/~eknuth/.../lifemart.html
as well as an Illustration: El Greco, "St. Martin and the Beggar", oil,
1597-99, held by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

Obviously the word Martin has Latinate roots, Mars, martial, but is A. Sax
as MARTE; wonders; marvels. We have received this word via Anglo Norman
MERVAILLE; wonder; marvel, and this obviously produces 'marvelous' from a
source distinct from Martial [L], Mareschalle [OF].

An old name for Martinmass seems to be Martlemas. In an inventory printed in
Archaeologica, xxx, 17, the word 'matrons' is found and which refers to the
animal, the marten.

Ne martryn, ne sabil, y trowe, in god fay,
Was none founden in hire garnement.

//Lydgate, MS. Soc. Antiq. 134, f. 25

The playright Dekker writing in the early 1600s wrote of a MARTIALIST; a
martial man; a soldier //Dekker's Knight's Conjuring, which seems to be the
first modern use of the word.

Ecclesiastical use is similar to Mary-Mas; the annunciation.

Another old word has a similar stem~ distinct from any Latin but with
ecclesiastical adoption; MIRTHE; to rejoice. It occurs in MS. Cotton.
Vespas. D. vii - and is itself a variant of MIRTHES, [A. Sax.] tunes
//Tristrem, p. 204, and our modern adoption with same sense is 'mirth'.

E-mail your entries directly to me:

This is a very fun thing to do, and I am deep into it, having played lots of
moves - and for your amusement am probably worse in two games, though
massively better in two others. I f I win all my games I can probably win 5
points, but if I lose I will lose 100!

Technically Rob Mitchell cannot start another tourney till this one is over,
so if other people would like to play against each other, I, or a couple
other people in the list below who are members, could start another one. I
think there is a provision to invite some amount of guests, but I don't know
how many people I can usher in under this basis, and each player might need
a different sponsor [from list below]. Do you know answer to that Rob?

The thing of it is, various outsiders joined in this one, so if there is
enough interest, and quick responses to invitations, we could keep the
tourny much to ourselves.

Though outsiders are fun@ I am talking with a Swiss person about Swabishche,
a sort of looney-German speech, and with a fellow limey about London's chess
scene.

Who is willing to start another tournament ? We werent able to Get
Matt, Grant, Randy or Vinny enrolled before the tournament started.

Phil is much better in all of his games against me as is everyone else!
I have to let you know that Angelo is also kicking my butt and taunting
me as he does it! He is a great guy to play chess with. Innocux is
also a great competitor and I am learning a lot from my play with them.
I have to say I think there is no better way to get to know people than
like this over a chess board.
