ALTERNATIVELY: in great desperation we could resort to talking about chess - that is, if we were capable of doing so, and many here are certainly not. we could discuss chess or chess organisation we could wonder if chess organisations exist to make money from the scholastic market, and if their interest and responsibility start and end right there, or if something else is expected from an...

And if he does what kind of opening does he use? Or more importantly how good is his end game? Kevin Houston http://www.geocities.com/aachess/ http://www.lulu.com/aachess http://www.lulu.com/content/414843 "If you see a good move, look again, it may actually be a blunder"

Did anyone on RGCP father Anna Nicole Smith's daughter? So far three men claim to be the father. Anna ain't saying. Old Haasie

Phil Innes has retured to our kitchen ... I mean, forum. And true to their word, neither Neil Brennen nor Larry Tapper have responded to Innes, just like they pledged. Ditto for Taylor Kingston and James Rynd. Great! There's little or no reason why intelligent men should answer Innes' foolishness with foolishness of their own. Innes, being deprived of the negative attention that he seeks, is so...

Every day today we are losing tens of thousands of visitors to our website at http://www.uschess.org because there is no way to find on our website the news reports about the World Chess Championship Match that is now taking place. You would not even know from looking at our website that there is such a match. I realize that this is not Jennifer's fault, but Jennifer is the only name we know. We...

What happened to StanB? He used to post here daily and I grew fond of reading his, heh, "opinions" on just about everything. Did Paul Truong sue him? I hope he didn't cave in to a frivolous lawsuit. I think he changed his posting moniker to Catalan but still haven't seen a post in ages. Stan where the hell are you man? --Duncan

Sex Tape Found of Former Teen TV Star A sex tape has surfaced featuring former teen television actor Dustin Diamond--he played the geek Screech in the popular 1980s show, "Saved by the Bell." Now entertainment agent David Hans Schmidt has acquired the rights to the 40-minute video that shows Diamond in very compromising positions with two women, reports The New York Daily News. When men look at...

Another rgcp/m poster has passed away. Alan M. Kirshner sent this and I don't think he will mind my posting it here. I didn't always get along with Hans but I think he was a decent bloke. --Duncan ------------- On September 22, 2006 Hans Poschmann passed away less then a month after his 74th birthday. Hans was a good friend and a man who was admired and

From: Subject: USCF BINFOS Duncan made a good post abuut non member gadflys! Jerry Hanken pity he didn't mention children's welfare rather than the welfare organisation - what are a few rapes after all, compared with money? but now we know where everyone is on this issue of kid's safety, and also the

CHINESE AND AUSTRALIAN EDITIONS IN PREPARATION A number of you have asked about the memoir that Dato' Tan Chin Nam and I co-authored. Its title is "Tan Chin Nam: Never Say I Assume!" The final chapter of the book, "The Gymnasium of My Mind," tells about his long involvement in chess promotion. The latest news is that a Chinese translation of the book is nearly ready, which will...

I'm still muzzled by Channing, Schultz and Goichberg. They don't want you to know the explosive stuff behind the scene. I just hope we'll have enough cash flow to survive until the end of the year. That's all I can say. Ismail Sloan

Whatever happened to the second edition of the RGCP Grudge Match? Can an interesting match be arranged? The first one was kinda fun. Old Haasie

WHITHER GOEST FIDE? And in that case it sounds like business as usual for Ilyumzhinov's FIDE. Whoever wins gets to keep his "unified" crown only until the next FIDE WCh tournament. FIDE seems determined to end the tradition of match play for the title. Stinks. -- Taylor Kingston I'm with you, Taylor. Stinks is right. And what are we to make of a possible blitz playoff to determine a world...

FIDE did well to organize this unification match, but as Rosanne Rosanna D'Anna used to say, "it's always something." In the type of break with tradition for which FIDE has become famous, the loser of this match must skip an entire Championship cycle. That's right, no quaterfinals, semifinals, or even a seeding into the upcoming candidates' tournament. Kramnik or Topalov -- one or the other...

You may ask: Why do I call Kirsan "My Dear Friend" when he said that I'm a bum in the past? I have always been one who runs to the aid of any person who has been wrongfully accused. Therefore, when rumors started to fly that Kirsan Ilyumzhinov had personally ordered the murder of journalist Miss Larisa Yudina, I realized that Kirsan was my dear friend after all. He didn't do it. She committed...

I emailed this message to USChessFederation and Continental Chess Association For those that do not know i sould be # 13 or 14 on the list. Now it took your retarded federation over one year to correct my name in the uscf search engine. Now i send an online student to the top 50 list of Nevada chess players, and guess what,
