I am pleased that the felon, pornographer, and child molester Sam Sloan has a newfound interest in ethical conduct. He is also a racist. Perhaps he could finally get around to explaining to us the nature of his disappointment in the following passage: begin Sloan quotation The one Japanese girl I know who really did marry a ****** was a personal tragedy for me because I used to **** her...

Yes, dear chess friends, it is imaginable. Goichberg could lose. Everybody ... on three, Goichberg will lose. Goodness, why should I say such a thing?? Because, Mr Goichberg is assailing President Marinello over a vitamin deal. Yes, that's right folks. Vitamins. This is not botox. Not Ritalin. Not a prescription drug, but an over the

USCF Ballot Scandal Although I received a ballot for the USCF election in my June Chess Life, several other members are reporting that their Chess Life did not include a ballot. A quick survey of USCF members around the country show that approximately 20% of all USCF members did not receive a ballot. This must be corrected and, more importantly, we need to know why this

As I read at the chessbase webserver today Karpov is planning to become new President of the FIDE. What do you think about that? Is Karpov an appropriate person for that job? He would be the second FIDE-President who was a former World Champion (ss Max Euwe before). Sorry to all - i was confused with the names. I only found the chessbase link to the german site ( I am from Germany). The URL is...

I finally broke down and voted this year as did my wife. Randy Bauer - competent. Greg Shadade - actually trying to do something for professional chess (U S Chess League, ...) instead of jumping on the kiddie gravy train. Elizabeth Shaughnessy - probably dislikes Richard Peterson - good enough.

We have seen a number of posts recently related to a number of ethical and political issues. All of these posts have skirted or touched upon the idea and issue of responsibility. There are three major posts that have continued to appear which touch upon responsibility, and I would like to address them. The three items a President Marinello and the continuing complaint that Mr. Goichberg...

I am far from decided about how I will fill in my ballot but here are my current thoughts on the candidates (in order of statements in Chess Life): Robert Tanner: Unimpressive statement. Sam Sloan: Laughable. Bill Goichberg: Tough Decision. My dealings with him have left a good impression. Stan's comments have me very concerned. Dubeck's

Dear All: Please find enclosed a copy of the letter of intend between Natrol, Inc and the US Chess Federation., and a statement from Natrol. This was the only agreement with this company.

I can find many excuses to justify my mistake, including...

I spoke for a few minutes yesterday with Joel Channing. He impresses me as an exceptionally capable man who understands the direction the USCF needs to go in. I don't think one has to worry about anyone else having undue influence over Mr. Channing--he has a mind of his own. While I did not vote for him, and am not now endorsing him, I do think he would be a valuable addition to the Board.
