Let's see how many more "fake" postings there are from this point out.

In the book "Chessdon" By Don Schultz, page 318-319 there is a letter from Grandmaster Geller dated August 22, 1972 to the icelandic organizers of the Fischer-Spassky Match. The letter complains: "It is surprising that the Americans can be found in the playing hall when the games are not taking place even at night ..." Now it can be revealed that that was me, Sam Sloan. I flew to Iceland late...

June 26, 2005 was the date of the 1st Annual RGCP Grudge Match. Eleven months afterwards, this historic matchup is still mentioned in RGCP. But how can we say it was the first, unless there is a 2nd also? Well, fear not. It is almost time for the 2nd Annual RGCP Grudge Match, but I am honestly uncertain about who should be the contenders this time. Everyone on here is so full of vile and spit...

Kirsan demanded USCF players submit to drug testing. I refused to support this, and now Kirsan is threatening to kill me. I am suing FIDE. Kirsan is a thug, who I do no support. Remember Kirsan, you can be killed as well as me. Marcus Roberts Permament Delegate of ST Kitts and Nevis to FIDE

USCF's problem is simple: they are NONPROFIT. If they were a for-profit corporation, there would be incentives to make sound financial decisions. Right now, there is really no such incentive, as any "profit" has to somehow be disbursed anyway, and the only real way to "profit" from USCF is to be an employee or a vendor. USCF already has a for-profit "rival" in ICC. ICC all but owns...

How's the health of the horrible, monstrous jurors who convicted you of two felonies?

Hi Everyone (: I thought you would enjoy the latest chess art drawings from the studio of award-winning artist Justin Michael Jenkins. These surreal and visionary chess depictions reveal the connection between life and chess and many are from dream interpretations.

KEENE IS BAFFLED Who are the ratbackers? I get very confused by these brain dead zombies. Remind me again who they are. -- Raymond Keene GM Ray Keene asked the questions listed below to a friend of his in America. I would add these annotations: 1. Neil Brennen originally came here announcing himself as the historian of the Pennsylvania State Chess Federation.

Sloan broadcasts his sexual experience with and interest in very young girls, even as he seeks a position on the USCF Board and calls the professional and personal conduct of sitting Board members into question. It would be easy to write Sloan off as a kook (albeit a kook who plays chess better than I do :-) ), except that other foes of USCF (e.g. Larry Parr and Phil Innes) are willing to...

Thanks to Lance, the 2nd Annual RGCP Grudge Match is one step closer to reality, with a match purse of at least $2250! This is a richer purse than many regional chess tournaments! What we need now are potential match ups, agreements from contenders, a venue, terms, etc., etc. Let the discussions continue! LiamToo wrote:

I deny the request not to archive Marcus Roberts -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Why all the Sam Sloan bashing? What the hell has this guy done that gets everyone's panties in a knot?

There's been an awful lot of talk here and elsewhere on the money spent for the re-design of the magazine and the web site. I just might re-join if they both come to pass. Anyone have any idea when either of these new efforts will arrive? I looked at the latest Chess Life at the local library yesterday and didn't see any difference, and I just checked the web site a couple of minutes ago and...

What happened to USChess Live, the USCF's online playing site? I didn't see a link to it from USChess' web page. Old Haasie

THE MEANING OF WORDS Recently I posted "How Randy Bauer Shifted Ground," an essay in which I noted that while there was little dispute that Mr. Bauer shifted ground in a series of attacks on the books of GM Ray Keene, there was an attempt to shift the debate from Mr. Bauer abandoning his initial position to accusing me of lying when epitomizing that position. I was accused of being a "sophist"...
