Bill Goichberg has posted elsewhere that it was entirely because of Sam Sloan that "we the people" backed out of sponsoring the US Championship. (For those of you not in the know, the term "we the people" is Wall Street slang or an euphemism or nickname for the largest brokerage firm. We all know who that is.) However, above Bill states that it is because of "Internet Postings" that "we the...

Modern Joseki and Fuseki, Volume Two, went for sale on Amazon today. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0923891765/slavesofthomasje For some unknown reason, they printed Modern Joseki and Fuseki, Volume Two, before they printed Volume One, even though I finalized Volume One a day before I finalized Volume Two. But, anyway, I am not complaining as I am sure that Volume One will be out in a...

You hear it here first. Goichberg and Schultz promised Shahade this position in exchange for Greg's vote. It will be finalized later this year. Sam Sloan

I have been avoiding the forum ever since Bill had me suspended from posting here, but I cannot let this one pass. At a meeting in Seattle in February, 2006, Bill Goichberg was informed that AF4C was downgrading its involvement in the US Championship. Thus, Bill knew by that date that AF4C would probably not be sponsoring the 2007 US Championship. According to the contract with the Seattle...

I succeeded in getting rid of Tanner and AF4C. I'm now focusing on Goichberg, Channing and SP. I'll take them down unless you vote for me for 4 more years. Sam Sloan

Hard Disk Data Recovery Expert I have had a serious problem with my hard drive, which crashed in October, 2006. As the hard drive contained books that I had written, it was necessary to recover it. I took it to all kinds of experts and none of them could do anything about it, plus I even had to pay. I wish to report that I have finally been able to recover most of the data on my hard drive.

Can anybody answer this question? I'm the most well known person in chess. Perhaps people are jealous of my success? Sam Sloan USCF Executive Board Member

reposted from elsewhere Erik Anderson also said that he will donate $25,000 to the USCF. We might use this money as part of the prize fund for a US Championship, with additional funding by another sponsor. $25,000 is enough if there are no other bidders.

I have been suspended from posting to uschess.org/forums Mike Nolan has sent me notification that I have been suspended for one week from posting to the USCF Forums. This in itself is not surprising. Susan Polgar and Paul Truong have been demanding for the longest time that I be banned from posting to the forums. Also, Joel Channing has been bombastically demanding that the moderator and the...

Bill Goichberg made the following announcement this afternoon, and made the same announcement to Executive Board members last night: Yesterday, USCF was in contact with Erik Anderson regarding the 2007 US Championship. By mutual decision of USCF and AF4C, the 2007 US Championship will not be sponsored by AF4C, but the two organizations will continue to work together on different projects, and...

Susan Polgar has created a new blog on which she posts her views on the coming USCF election. However, there is a mystery. She provides a list of the candidates and then says that there is "one other candidate". Who is that "one other candidate"? Here is Susan's list: Susan Polgar Mikhail Korenman

From the USCF Forum: "Tim Redman gets my vote for brilliant idea of the day. He has suggested that the USCF should recognize that the Forums are (now) essentially a political arena and make the job of Moderator that of the USCF's chief political officer, ie the USCF President." // Mike Nolan. Having joked this week about Pravda-in-Connecticut, at least USCF are admitting Redman's point,...

I told you that they're afraid of me. I told you that Bill Goichberg is a mouse. My lawsuit threat is mightier than their their votes. They're afraid of me. Nolan doesn't want to lose his job like Tanner. I'll always win! Sam Sloan

The Executive Board has voted 4-1-1 to lift the posting rights suspension of Sam Sloan, effective immediately and to rescind the suspension of Beatriz Marinello. (Marinello abstained, Sloan voted against the motion.) My understanding is that this also wipes the slate clean in terms of past infractions on both Sloan and Marinello. I will update this note with the exact text of the motion when I...

This dictator Mike Nolan is out to get me. He unfairly suspended me from the USCF Nolanland forum. I can't appeal to anyone because he's a dictator. Fire Mike Nolan and vote for me for 4 more years! Sam Sloan USCF Executive Board Member
