Kenneth Michael Goodall From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Kenneth Michael Goodall, better known as Mike Goodall, (b. January 13, 1946 in Denver, Colorado) is the most active chess tournament organizer in Northern California. He organized and directed the US Chess Championship in 1975, 1984 and 1986, the US Junior Chess Open Championship in 1985, and the U.S. Women's Chess Championship in...

An enormous amount of negative material has been written about the US representatives to FIDE. The names of the people have changed over time, but the criticisms have generally remained the same. Whether it was Steve Doyle, Tim Redman, Don Schultz, Fan Adams, Arnold Denker, or Bill Kelleher, they were said to have bowed and scraped for the approval of the Presidential Board (PB). Of course,...

He's qualified. He's rich. He's honest. He's trustworthy. He would be great! Sam Sloan

MANDATORY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Friends, For an updated version of the Parr family web page, including a photograph of yours truly mesmerized by a merry medley of Malaysian mesdemoiselles, check out: http://www.kids4chess.com/parrfamily. Is Christmas under attack from "Xmas" and "Happy Holidays" secular liberals? Has the time come for concerned

Diane Reese, with over 2,000 players, managed a great scholastic tourney this past weekend in Rosemont, IL. She fixed many problems and kept her cool. I would like to personally thank her for your special attention to a few problems kids I had there encountered. Keep up the great work. Between her and Judy Misner, the USCF is looking good lately. www.chessinchicago.org

Matt Nemmers is a dirty crook who should leave usenet at the instant. Matt Nemmers has insuated that Sam Sloan had written on his webpages that he had had sex with under-aged Tahi girls. Then I took Matt Nemmers to task and asked him for the exact link. That was three or four days ago. Since Matt Nemmers appeared again with other postings but didn't react on my challenge he is guilty of...

You can read more about the campaign at WCN! We have, with great help from Mr Geoffrey Borg, arranged an interview with Mr.Bessel Kok.

At least you'd only have to mail out one mag every three months, and the internet could pick up the slack.

I know it appears to be SOP that if you disagree with anything the EB has done lately you are obviously in the Goichberg-Schultz cheerleading section. That is ridiculous, but I won't go into that. One topic I see continually come up is the issue of conflict of interest regarding Goichberg and the CCA. I understand where people are coming from. I also see that people think he doesn't want the...

For years, I have watched as Goichberg dismembered this one or that one. Not that his marketing and execution of business planning wasn't brilliant (why I originally admired him), but there was a darker side that no one was talking about when it came to Goichberg. Now mind you, my frame of reference begins in the summer of 1993, when I decided that I had better do something about Chess as I had...

Hey Lance, You've mentioned some Texas Hold 'em books here before and I've forgotten the details. Would you be so kind as to point me in a good direction? My nephew is quite into poker these days and a good book seems like an appropriate gift. K

For anyone to act that Mr. Bauer's candidacy should be invalidated for his method of payment is absurd. Frankly I'm tired of hearing of it and wish that people would stop wasting time and giving the accusors the responses that they so clearly don't deserve.

By now, Tim Hanke should be happily in a fox hole over in Iraq, shooting it out with the Freedom Fighters.
