Hi, I saw the movie, The Da Vinci Code, yesterday. It was an interesting moving about a guy who does a treasure hunt by solving codes and clues along the way. He said in the movie that symbols have different meanings. I was wondering if there are any secret coded messages on a chessboard. Maybe a longtime the inventors of chess used the pieces as symbols to meet something. They all...

Marinello has won the battle. Shultz and company once again surrender to this dyke. She's now the new nominated President of DCA (Dyke Chess Association).

Well, FIDE did recieve my fax. They are ignoring me. I was told to contact Leong, who is ignoring me. Nobody can play in the world chess championship in 2006 for no real legal reason. I am going to hurt FIDE, and I am going to hurt chess. FIDE will not let us play chess, and not respond to questions about our application for admission. WE WILL SUE FIDE!! FIDE is not there to help small nations....

I am fairly new to this forum but I have been catching up on the various controversies which abound. I was very surprised by Taylor Kingston accusing GM Keene of dishonest statements. As a matter of record here - and I have read through everything I can find here in the past threads - it seems to me that GM Keene has been very clear at every stage and backed up his assertions with solid...

I post this from Kirsan's web site, and I ask the reader, do you believe that this is true? In word and deed A list of FIDE achievements of the decade 1996-2006 "The past decade was undoubtedly the decade of chess unity within FIDE. Immediately after his first election in 1996, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov promised to stop all the fights within FIDE and he succeeded. A new spirit of democracy has been...

I refuse to take drug tests I guess I will be the first conscious objector. When St Kitts and Nevis enters the world chess championship, I promise never to submit to, undertake, or agree to take any drug test for FIDE. I promise to R.C.P.G. never to pull out my dick in a crisis. I guess this will cause a problem. Oh well. Marcus Roberts

It has been confirmed that Marinello has been added to Ilyumzhinov's team. She'll serve as the head whore for Azmaiparashvili.

Poor Liarry Parr. Here he comes to this forum trying to paint Sloan as the victim by our excessive government and smear campaigns by his politcal enemies. And then comes along the likes of The Historian, among others, who present actual, irrefutable evidence demonstrating that Liarry wasn't telling the whole truth. The guy just can't catch a break. "The Historian" wrote...

I have notified Dr. Tim Redman (USA) and FIDE of my decision. I know that this is a little tacky, but legally it is the strongest argument. Dear Dr. Redman: My position as a FIDE Delegate as that I am immune from drug tests as a FIDE Delegate. Since I can't play in the world chess championship until I am a FIDE Delegate, this problem may or may not emerge this year. My admission could be...

I am very interested in the outcome of the FIDE Presidential election. It seems to me that Bessel Kok is probably the more suitable candidate but that Kirsan is likely to win. I have been following the controversy about Beatriz Marinello, have also looked at David Levy's letter on Chessbase about democracy in chess as well as have seen what Boris Kutin did as president of the European chess...

Just in case any really stupid people can't figure that out. -- "Google maintains the USENET." -- The Honorable R. Barclay Surrick, Eastern District of PA Judge From Parker v. Google, E.D.Pa. #04-cv-3918

Sam Sloan video on Google Video I have just by happenstance discovered a video of me on the Internet on Google Video. The video is at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Sam+Sloan+for+Governor or you can just go to http://www.video.google.com and search for Sam Sloan.

URGENT MEMO May 27, 2006 TO Kirsan Ilyumzhinov FIDE President Cc: EXECUTIVE BOARD OF FIDE

How Bessel Kok could have won the FIDE Presidential Election The better path was for Bessel Kok to LIE. Had Kok offered to help the third world in chess, that is - LIE - he would have won. One of the problems here in chess is the egotistical nature of the political leadership. Kok was too honest. Kok is Vice Chairman of a state run telecommunications monopoly in Eastern Europe. In other words,...

Posted: Sat May 27, 2006 2:02 am Zoning of New HQ Bldg I began researching the Crossville land deal at the annual meeting in Phoenix last August. I became concerned when I read a note in the financial report that said that, in the event of a sale of the building, the City has the right to buy back the land for one dollar. When I raised this as a question at one of the sessions I was...

Conflict between Afghan Delegations to the World Chess Federation. There is a Congress of the World Chess Federation going on right now in Turin, Italy in the same sporting facility that housed the Winter Olympic Games a few months ago. There are two slates running for the presidency. One slate is known as The Good Guys. The other slate is known as The Bad Guys. Both the Good Guys and the Bad...

Newsgroup Censorship by Rob Mitchell Rob Mitchell, a regular poster to the chess newsgroups, especially rec.games.chess.politics , has come up with an interesting way to thwart discussion of any topics he finds objectionable: He changes the subject headers, so that anybody who has been following the discussion will not be able to see what happened to it. At first I thought it was happenstance...

I am in the process of moving, and in readying for the move I have been going through some old boxes that have been stored away. In one of the boxes (filled mostly with old Chess Life magazines) I found a scoresheet with the following game (which I thought I had lost forever): Mikhail Tal - Geofrey Strayer Software Toolworks, 26.11.1987
