Please note that Stephen Jones is a surprise new candidate for election to the USCF Executive Board. I know very little about him and met him only once, which was at the 1963 US Intercollegiate Championship at Notre Dame University in Indiana. There I remembering him drawing with our team member Donald Dean when Dean was a piece down in a position that looked hopeless. My team, which was the...

Chessdon goes zero for zero for 10 on his arguments against TMB's arguments for moving to Paris!! 1) Sam Sloan is thousands of miles away, and won't be able to make all the board meetings. Wrong - Sam consistently shows up at important meetings wherever they are. Didn'tyou see the Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman. Well Sam is our Dustin Hoffman.

CROSS-T0-BEAR AND HARRY SABINE An Executive Board member -- and I am authorized to say it is not Sam Sloan -- contacted me to say that there is real question over the title to what is supposedly USCF land in Crossville. This person has asked me to state the following: "I don't want to cross Joel Channing and Bill Goichberg in public, and I don't know whether I will

"samsloan" I had thought that a Wikipedia administrator would delete these obviously objectionable edits by Truong, but that has not happened. Wikipedia is a bull**** organization run like "Boys Town" where the most popular boys get to do whatever the funk they want. Since you are not popular, anyone can screw with you. Get used to it.

Sam, Please try not to include me in your postings, unless it's necessary. I think that postings like this one contribute to the polarization of the USCF's leadership; I want not part on it. I asked you not to say anything about the 'under the table situation." You did not respect my wishes, and then apologized for it. I appreciate the apology, but this does not give you a green light to...

Regarding the "Under the Table" incident at the board meeting in Stamford Connecticut on November 17, 2006, Joel Channing has told a lie when the truth would have served him better. This has caused me to wonder how many other things Joel Channing says about himself are lies. For example, Joel Channing claims that he is a member of Mensa. Somebody has looked him up and says that he is not a...

THE REAL AND THE FAKE This seems to be the real Sam Sloan -- This seems to be the fake Sam Sloan -- One way to tell is that the real Sam doesn't use profanity. Let's hope that Marcus Roberts or someone else solves the mystery soon.

The board took a vote about my suspension and I made the wrong vote because I heard the question wrong. It turned out that I was the only one who voted to suspend myself. I'm very ****ed that Nolan is telling everyone about my vote. It's just a dumb mistake. Sam Sloan

The old USCF website has/had some character and unique graphics, proper separations into boxes, multilinked pages, etc. Jennifer is killing all of that, converting it into a bland pale blue and white format without significant graphics, no boxes, no separators, no multilinked pages, all in one long scrolling page. It sucks, like the new Chess Life sucks, same bland and featureless style....

During the USCF Executive Board meeting on November 17, 2006, Joel Channing reached under the table and put his hand on Beatriz Marinello's leg. Beatriz simply removed the hand from her leg and said nothing about it. I know about this only because I was sitting next to Beatriz and witnessed the incident. Beatriz asked me not to say anything about it, and I have done so.

I suppose that you must be referring to the statement by Susan Polgar below. However, these are just meaningless feel-good statements that candidates often make. They do not address any of the serious problems that the USCF is facing now. They also do not answer such pertinent questions as: When will Susan return the computer she took from the USCF offices on August 20, 2003?
