Default Everybody Wants Lux but Susan

This is a song to be played on a steel guitar to the music of I can't
remember which song. It goes like this:

Everybody Wants Lux
Everybody Wants Lux
Everybody Wants Lux but Susan

It is a fact that every campaign letter or endorsement letter that has
gone out thus far has endorsed Joe Lux for the USCF Executive Board.

What makes this especially surprising is that everybody considered Joe
Lux to be the tail-ender when the election campaign started.

Yesterday morning, Susan Polgar got up and said:

"Morror, Mirror on the Wall. Whose the fairest of them all?"

The mirror answered:

Joe Lux

This answer has set Susan off on a tizzy. In a wild frenzy, she has
been attacking Joe Lux all morning. Take a look at:

It has gotten so bad that Susan Polgar forgot all about attacking Bill
Goichberg today.

Nobody has commented on this but I want to use this as an example of
how Susan unfairly attacks other candidates for election, candidates
that she will have to sit with and work with in closed session if she
is elected. (Since she so often attacks other candidates or current
board members I wonder if she plans to serve at all if anything less
than her entire slate is elected.)

Here is what has appeared on Susan's Blogspot about Joe Lux:


"Today, he criticized Dr. Korenman for organizing a major event to
benefit kids nationwide. Korenman even got Barrack Obama to agree to
come to this event to boost chess. Instead of thanking Dr. Korenman,
Joe Lux decided to blast him.

"Joe, who has done nothing more than being a TD and coach, who has
no other experience, decided to reckless attack his opponents with Sam
Sloan style.

"We don't need another reckless person like Sam Sloan on the board
and he promptly lost my vote. That vote will now go to Mr. Jim Berry.

"I just read that too and it's a pity. I though Lux was a nice guy
and now I see that he's just a front man for Bill Goichberg and
company. They're afraid of what Dr. Korenman and Paul Truong can do so
they attack them relentlessly. I won't vote for Berry but my intended
vote for Lux will now go to Mikhail Korenman."

Now, here is what Joe Lux actually wrote:

A MAJOR International event by Dr. Korenman
International Scholastic Chess Convention
January 6 - 15, 2008 - Chicago
International Scholastic Chess Tournament
The 1st FIDE-rated Open Scholastic chess tournament in the US!
The start of FIDE-rated events in the United States geared for players
rated as low as 500 or less, whether scholastic or not, is a direct
challenge to the USCF rating system as well as the USCF itself. Why
have an American rating when it may be more attractive to have a FIDE
rating? The FIDE system should have never been allowed below the
professional level. That is a failure of FIDE representation to defend
USCF interests.

More loyalty to USCF should be demonstrated by candidates.

Chessically yours, Joe Lux
As anybody can plainly see, Joe Lux did NOT attack election opponent
Mikhail Korenman. Joe Lux did not even mention Mr. Korenman by name.
Joe Lux is not trying to stop those little kids who just want to play
chess.

Rather, Joe Lux is objecting to having a scholastic tournament
involving small children FIDE RATED.

There are many valid reasons why there should not be FIDE Ratings for
small children. Many people object to even having USCF ratings for
children. I disagree with Joe Lux. I feel that if Mr. Korenman wants
to obtain FIDE ratings for children that is his right as long as he is
willing to pay the substantial FIDE rating fees.

However, even though I disagree with Joe Lux, I feel that he has a
valid point and he should be free to express his views without being
so viciously attacked by Susan Polgar.

Sam Sloan
