recently i seem to have been contacted by all sorts of local chess players asking about starting a club. one woman spoke to me about her daughter's interest on returning from college, and another woman, conspicossuly overhearing the conversation spoke about her own, and her daughter's interest - for an hour! then there are two dads who both have 7 year olds - i am circulating a dvd maurice...

If I'm elected, I promise not to take a penny from the USCF. I'll pay everything from my own pocket. I won't even take a free lunch from my friend Don Schultz and Frank Brady. Vote for me and I'll provide all male members over 11 with free viagra! Read me lips! Free viagra to please all the mamas out there! Sam Sloan

A lot of bytes are wasted on the discussion about the USCF+CL versus GM Larry Evans. Such discussions are futile, aimless and illogical. Sure, the top USCF bureaucrats will always put their own stinky political interest ahead of the needs of the USCF membership, ahead of the interest of the US chess playing public, ahead of the iointeresty of CL.

With no election of Delegates, Mike Nolan gets to continue his abssolute rule without any checks or balances In sum, the mistake on the ballot is so big that either the USCF will have to forget about holding a delegate election this year, or it will have to mail the ballot again, at an estimated cost of $25,000. The ballot mistake was ON PURPOSE. The USCF figured I was going to buy

Alekhine's Parrot keeps setting new lows. The latest one is particularly amusing. Innes copied and pasted a newsgroup post, without even bothering to reformat it, and called it a "conversation with a Polish correspondent." The correspondent provided 4 sentences; Innes blathers on for 17. Talk about being in love with the sound of your own keyboard....

They would not have to discuss and agree to anything. Thye would just play
