There is a rumor bouncing around that Sevan Muradian and his North American Chess Association will be trying to take away from the USCF it's FIDE affiliation. Also, supposedly the North American Chess Association is trying to become the governing body of chess in Canada, Mexico and the USA. I can tell you that none of this will ever happen, so do not worry about it.

Here is an interesting story: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/court_and_social/article3523718.ece http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/14/europe/EU-GEN-Italy-Da-Vinci-Chess-Code.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_Pacioli March 29, 2008 WINNIPEG FREE PRESS PAGE: F9

I keep reading that in 1934 Louis H. Watson was ranked the number 4 bridge player in the world. He died tragically in 1936 at age 29. Why was he ranked number 4 ? Who were numbers 1, 2 and 3 ?? I have searched newspaper reports from 1932-1934 and it seems that Watson was winning almost everything. The one time that his team finished only second, it was attributed to a series of highly

As few people said FICS gives correct Rating. I played 3 Games at FICS against Beginner Level, To my amazement Beginner won all the three games. It beat three players of Rating 1832 and 1700 and 1500. And Now FICS rates GetClub Beginner level as 1800+ So all those who used to say Beginner plays less than 1800 Look at this game. See how Beginner Sacrificed its Knight and Won the game.

Help bot suggested about the blockade strategy it helped GetClub play much stronger games now. I played two games with Beginner vs Rybka and found even Rybka is not able to get ahead and finish GetClub like it used to earlier. It is taking longer for Rybka to win against the Beginner Level. As Beginner is not allowing Rybka to take its pieces easily. The Games are ending with +10 Moves.

From chessdiscussion, the Trolgar owned and controlled "discussion" forum apparently answering her own question: "by SusanPolgar on Sun Mar 30, 2008 5:32 am I was asked the following question today on my blog: "How bad are the finances at USCF ? How likely is it that USCF declares bankruptcy ? What steps are being taken to avoid financial collapse?" Here is my answer:

But precisely because Mr. M is my friend, and because I know his character, I am inclined to give him every benefit of the doubt. BTW Bill Brock sent over 400 E Mails in a fit of rage. -----Original Message----- From: Sevan Muradian Sent: Sun 01/22/2006 21:39 To: ; Brad Rosen Cc:

If you have an Executive Director who is utterly worthless, or who does not tell the board what he is doing or who often lies about what he has done, then you have a situation where the ED cannot be trusted with such critical decisions as the hiring or firing of the Editor of Chess Life. The USCF has lost more than two million dollars since 1999 and is losing $300,000 more so far this year. None...

The idea was floated this morning on the Truong/Polgar controlled chessdiscussion site: "by Zarathustra on Fri Mar 28, 2008 11:35 am The United States Chess Federation has lost its support with the adult membership, with the members leaving or left and, the rest just questioning why they are a member in the first place. Even with the flood of scholastic members, that we give moral support...

I am posting this here just to warn the occasional passers-by to ignore the postings by Rob ("The Robber") Mitchell. Rob (The Robber") Mitchell is not a chess player. He has never played a rated game. He is not a member of the USCF. He really has no connection with chess. He joined the USCF for just one year in 2004. That was just so that he could apply for a job with the USCF. He applied first...

When is the next date at which something is scheduled to happen? I had certainly hoped that the process would be further along by this point; is this normal or is there a specific cause for the delay? Jerry Spinrad
