He just filed another KookSoot against the United States Chess Federation, Wrong. I initiated an EEOC complaint. for gender discrimination. Of course they are in Tennessee, so I wonder how he thought he could get the job?

Since Kramnik is the world chess champion, does that mean that he is a genius and have a high IQ? Could he be a member of Mensa ?

I guess the federation wants to take a stand, as they have effectively left me absolutely no alternative but to seek redress through the court system for their recent conduct. I will be initiating proceedings against them through the appropriate channels within the next two weeks. This was not my preference, but they are not exercising common sense and seem to need a crash course in it. So...

A prime strategy for the the USCF should be to improve our chess experiences both individually and collectively. Old Haasie

Kirsan deals drugs, or their profits, from the FIDE bank account. Why do you think he personallu borrowed from FIDE? Kirsan financies DRUG DEALERS. You chessplayers are disgusting with your INTENTIONAL blindless of criminal activity. You support convicted felons, sexual perverts, all for the name of chess, when in fact, some of your money is being used to grow OPUIM in Afghanstain. Chess sucks,...

I just responded to a card from the USCF asking me to call an 800 number to verify some information. So, I called. The friendly rep verified my address, phone number, e-mail, and then revealed what appears to be the true purpose of the solicitation: did I want to reserve a copy of a "Collector's Edition" Life Member Directory? Cost, including shipping and handling, was about a hundred bucks. ...

Sam Sloan is VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW and jeapordizing the tax exempt status of the USCF. Dear Marcus Roberts, This email confirms that you have paid $29.95 USD using PayPal. This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL *SAMSLOAN".

Just got back from the EEOC. They have accepted my charge for filing. An investigation will likely begin in 6-8 weeks. I've alleged gender discrimination over the Jennifer Shahade hiring, and retaliation discrimination over conduct which has occurred since then. I will be naming USCF and possibly various individuals who were personally involved in the conduct cited in my EEOC charge, as...

KIRSAN ILYUMZHINOV QUOTED AT CHESSBASE "All the decisions taken during the match are legally proper, which is confirmed by the firm of attorneys cooperating with FIDE for more than ten years since I became a president.

Well, I can tell you that the really good chess players (the one's with the 2200 ratings) didn't get that good by accident! They had to study & practice extremely hard to get to where they are today. Most likely, they've studied chess strategies...

I read an article in Chess Life about cheating going on at chess tournaments. What I don't understand is how the guy was cheating. I understand that he played like a strong computer against Smirin and then suddenly stopped playing well in future rounds. But what I don't understand is how he did it? You can't just put a computer in a hat and also how do enter the moves and get the moves back...
