Please call me at 850-722-7551. I wish to place an agenda item at your shareholder's meeting, assuming I am not killed first. I have a complaint about your editorial staff, if they really posted what I just saw posted. Marcus Roberts

USCF needs to do more to help Bessel Kok The Election for FIDE President will be held in Torino, Italy in just ten weeks. There are two candidates: Bessel Kok and Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. For more than 20 years since the mid-1980s, Bessel Kok has been the leading chess organizer in Europe. He is a wealthy and successful businessman who backs his mega chess events with his own millions which he earned...

I urge everyone to delete all of Sloan's crap on Wikipedia. I support banning this scumbag Sloan from posting. Andrew Zito

I think that there is a good argument to hold the USCF financially responsible, in part, for the added security costs of death threats to FIDE. Sam Sloan is a USCF member. Sam Sloan will not deny these death threats. There is going to be a real security problem if Sloan believes he can just walk into the FIDE General Assembly and pretend nothing has happened. All of this happened because the USCF...

Sam Sloan wrote: because tiny corrupt dictatorships around the world are expected to vote for the incumbent, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. Kirsan is expected to get the vote of many of the African, Arab and Asian delegates. The vote of South and Central America is unknown. Kirsan has a simple method: First, he bribes the delegates. As example of this was...

Sam Sloan Did you threaten to kill me, or am I going to have to start offering rewards to conivct you of any crime? I am not going to let you run for the Executive Committe of the USCF and get away from denying YOUR DEATH THREATS! You will answer this charge, or cease being a public figure. This will NEVER GO AWAY. If you think you can bully me, I am going to legally and lafully RESPOND.

I'll have to stay out of this for the most part, but Doyle did threaten to physically throw me out of a USCF Delegates meeting, without authority. Doyle is a bully. HE contributes little to chess. He just likes to go to meetings and scream as loud as he can. Doyle's proudest moment as USCF President when he got to assualt a member and throw them out of a Delegate's meeting. If Doyle touches...

I was just wondering, how can we promote chess when chessplayers threaten to kill each other? I mean, once the death threat is made, who cares about Chess? Perhaps this needs to be part of my speech in June, if I survive May? Marcus Roberts Permanent Delegate of St Kitts and Nevis to FIDE

Sam Since you will not deny you threatened to kill me, I am going to treat you as you made the threat. I don't care anyomre if you didn't do it. As far as I am concerned, you want to kill me. Marcus Roberts

Since there have been so many death threats against a FIDE Delegate for voting for the relection of the FIDE Presdient Ilyumzhinov, I was wondering, does anybody know the line of succession in FIDE? What happens if something happens to the Presdient? Which Vice Presdient takes over, and in what order of succession, or is a new election held? I haven't been involved in Chess politics in almost...

Recently, in another thread, Larry Parr recycled his claim from April 2005 that Edward Winter "wrote a long screed justifyingy Campo's stopping of the first Kasparov-Karpov match," Campo being then-president of FIDE Florencio Campomanes. As I pointed out back in April, no such "screed" exists, but Parr has since insisted that Winter's review of Kasparov's book "Child of Change" serves as...

I have just received a long posting from Dimitrije Bjelica He says something about me, but I do not know what he says. Here is part of what he wrote.

It's time to end your spamming of the rec.games.chess.computer newsgroup, Mr. Sloan. Otherwise, you will... Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
