Seriously. I'd like to know what steps he's taking to protect the players who play some $250 or whatever to play in his tournament against cheating by their opponnets. Can players leave the table? Are visitors allowed in the tournament hall? Are they being checked for hand-held computers?

Daily Chess Planet editor Parry White threw his office door open and barked into his reporter pool, "Slane! Some kid's phone just rang at the big kids' tournament downtown, and now he's suspected of cheating. Get your butt down there, and take a photographer with you!" "I'm on it, Chief," said intrepid reporter Slois Slane. "C'mon, Jimmy." "Righto, Miss Slane," said cub photographer Jimmy...

Yes, I am big patzer: I saw 22.Nxg7 in game 2--just misevaluated the position, and I'm not sure what possessed me to play ...Rd3 in game 3 (other than a feeling that I had to do _something_). But that's not the funny I'm talking about. Intellectually, I don't feel any differently about Sam Sloan and his general effect on the dysfunctionality of USCF politics than I did yesterday.

.....who would the players be? This year Sam could've played just about *anybody* since he has so many detractors on here, but I have to admit that Bill Brock didn't really spring to mind as the top contendah. That he had the stones and the cash to git'r dun speaks well for him (even if he lost) to put a challenge on the table and follow through. But because Bill and Sloan are within 150 or so...

Does anyone know of a non-ChessBase database that reads CB files and can use the Shredder engine for analysis? Thanks.

Dear Sam: Congrats on having the balls to show up and pull this off. Larry Parr informed us you would be intimidated and even physically roughed up. Were you treated with anything but the utmost dignity and respect? Congrats also to Bill for having the balls to play CHESS and also being

He won game 3 on time!

I would like to thank the players - Bill Brock and Sam Sloan; the Arbiter - Vince Hart; the official scorekeeper - Larry Cohen; my fellow sponsors - Lance Smith's sponsor, Randy Bauer, and Stan Booz; and my fellow ICC spectators; for making for a very interesting chess match with some very interesting games and some real "struggles". I look forward to do this again next year with potentially a...

Ok, I've been watching the Brock-Sloan Grudge '05 match on ICC. Who is this Jerzy64???? He certainly is a Sam Sloan fan. Perhaps it is his son. Does anyone know who he is? Ron Suarez

Billie Jean King always said the entertainment value of a sporting event was independent of the absolute strength of the contestants. That's true for me -- I enjoyed watching high school Class C basketball, where I knew many of the players and their backgrounds, more than pro ball with its highly skilled mercenaries. Error-riddled as these games were, the entertainment value was immense,...

In a stunning upset, Sloan came out ahead in the second round of the RGCP Grudge Match currently underway on ICC. Kibitzers were dumbfounded at whites 22nd and 26th moves when Bill had a clear win, only to turn on his heels and do an about face into a lost endgame. (Comments courtesy of yours truly.)

- Sam Sloan reports that he is now in Chicago, and - now the mail-delayed pledge of Stan Booz has been co-signed/guaranteed by Randy Bauer, and - the Match Arbiter has practiced entering moves into ICC, so this means... ....the 1st Annual RGCP Grudge Match is ready to begin later this (Sunday) morning!
