RESPONSIBILITY by BrotherNehoc
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...

Current thoughts on candidates by Vince Hart
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

the old rope troll spam post by DB Rea
Yeah, yeah, I read his stupid post, because the header caught my eye. My first thought was "if you want to get stoned and play a little chess, why not buy some actual marijuana? Too tightfisted?"

idle chit-chat by politikalhack@gmail.com
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.

Kasparov is no politician by Ruud
Kasparov starts his political career, like many other wannabe-politicians, by putting down other politicians instead of concentrating on suggesting improvements himself. He did this during his chess career at some times as well. Now for the second time he is attacked, this time with eggs. I'm not an insider in all the russian politics, and probably he is right about a lot of his criticism...

Goichberg's Performance as Executive Director, Part 3 by LWDubeck
The relocation of the USCF office to Crossville Tennesesee is without doubt the most debated Executive Board decision in this campaign. Then Executive Director Bill Goichberg opposed the move to Crossville, favoring further exploration of a relocation to Liberty, located in Sullivan County, New York. The Liberty site was to be in a 100+ year old former hospital that had been vacant for years....

Goichberg's Performance as Executive Director, Part 1 by LWDubeck
Mr. Goichberg keeps claiming credit for wonderful achievments as Executive Director and suggests that his performance is the reason to vote for him for the Executive Board. Let us examine some of his claims. He takes credit for negoiating the agreeemnt to outsource books and equipment.

Poisoned Water at the Whirled Open -- A Masked Bishop Adventure by Frisco Del Rosario
Slois Slane, intrepid reporter for the Daily Chess Planet, had never seen anything like it. Almost a dozen chess masters were being held under the strictest security at the metropolis's detention facility, all of them strung out, seemingly suffering through withdrawal symptoms. "Golly, Miss Slane," said cub photographer Jimmy Lolsen, 'what's with those chess champions?" "I'm not sure, Jimmy. It...

Spammy's Evil Twin? by Tom Klem
Posting NNTP: 151.202.69.141 from a recent 'real' Sam Sloan post (purports to be the real guy) Posting NNTP: 66.2.156.20 from the 'pretend' Sam Sloan (Sam swears it ain't him). Anybody care to know the geographical location of both IPs. Hint: It might even be the same Borough. What a joke.

It's a matter of trust by Tom Klem
Dear Chess friends, A few people have been asking me why I don't want to see the Klink Cabal back in office (Golichberg/Schultz). It's as if you had a beautiful farm. You, your wife and son live there, and it is truly a beautful place. In the spring, it rains profusely, you plant your crops, till the soil until the harvest time, when you reap the benefits of all your hard labors, selling your...

WWLD? by Matt Nemmers
WHAT WOULD LARRY DO? If former Chess Life editor and outspoken RGCP spin-doctor Larry Parr were a current USCF member, for whom would he cast his vote? Larry playing Johnny Cochrane to Sam Sloan's O.J. of late makes this writer wonder what he would do were a ballot sent to him in his tropical Malaysian paradise. He has legalistically defended Sloan by subscribing to the ideas that the many...
