(reprised)

Over the last several months, I have repeatedly warned this Executive Board,
and I have copied you, about the dangers of USCF working with Susan Polgar
and Paul Truong.

These two individuals are constantly trying to rip us off, and they have
often succeeded. For example, the highly unusual five-year, $30,000
contract Susan Polgar was given to write for Chess Life. There are many
other examples. We used to have an Executive Director, Frank Niro, who
connived to benefit Polgar and Truong at USCF's expense, but I thought we
had solved that problem.

To my personal knowledge, Susan Polgar has threatened, since August 2003:

--To sue USCF EB President Beatriz Marinello.

--To sue USCF EB Vice President of Finance Tim Hanke.

--To sue USCF Finance Committee Chair Stan Booz.

And I have just learned today, that Susan Polgar has now told us SHE WILL
SUE THE USCF, if the USCF EB does not vote by April 1, 2004, to change the
U.S. Women's Olympiad Team selection rules to please Susan Polgar and make
sure Anna Hahn does not play on the team.

Oh, and I also heard today, Susan Polgar is also threatening to sue Erik
Anderson of America's Foundation for Chess! (I have no idea why.)

Despite these many problems, I understand that USCF Events Coordinator Diane
Reese has recently hired Susan Polgar to appear at EVERY upcoming USCF
national scholastic event, for how much money and how many years I don't
know; and you personally have signed a contract to this effect--despite the
Executive Board's specifically stated desire to avoid any such arrangement
with Susan Polgar, clearly expressed at the last Executive Board meeting in
Boca Raton, Florida, where you were present and involved in the discussion!

I'm speechless. Do you not get it? Does the USCF EB not get it? What will it
take, for everyone to understand that we should avoid Polgar and Truong
like the plague?

Polgar and Truong REPEATEDLY take financial advantage of USCF.

Polgar and Truong REPEATEDLY threaten us with lawsuits.

In response to Polgar and Truong's threats, we REPEATEDLY cave in like a
house of cards.

Despite their well-established unsavory character, we REPEATEDLY write large
checks to Polgar and Truong.

I can only conclude that the Executive Director and Executive Board have
learned nothing, and we are collectively guilty of gross stupidity. Do you
have another explanation?

Tim Hanke

USCF Vice President of Finance

How does somebody posting one of Hanke's letters indicate that Sloan
the fake Sloan are one and the same???
