The Racist of Reykjavik vs. The Beast of Baku? This is such a great line from an article in the Guardian by Leonard Barden that I felt obliged to repeat it. Sam Sloan

Joel Benjamin asks a good question. Where is Liberty? And some of us, given Bush's horrors, wonder where is liberty. The real issue, however, is where is the cross that four USCF members have given us to bear. Where is Crossville? Oh, yes, I know it is in Tennessee. Tennessee may be narrow, but it's hundreds of miles long. Where is the cross that chess will have to bear?

My Grandfather was German Jewish. A few of my relations died in the holocaust. However I do not find disputing the number of Jewish people murdered by the Nazi's to be offensive or hateful. Five million or six million people tortured, the deed was still horrific. Actually Stalin and his communists outdid Hitler in massacring the Jews and prior to that many of them were killed in Spain by...

FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS The current building will be sufficient for the USCF's current needs. While I believe that publications will end up in Crossville, if it didn't the building would be more than sufficient. We are not planning on adding a second building, but it makes sense to design a structure (and we did) that allows for future expansion...Middle men? You mean like real estate agents, is...

Personally, I thought it was ****ty that they kept it out. -- Eric Johnson at the FIDE newsgroup. Concerning the quashing of Sam Sloan's candidate's statement in Chess Life, I have knowledge of what happened within the office and Board. Sam's statement would never have appeared under any circumstances. My knowledge is hearsay, but it could be taken in deposition, I believe, if there is a...

SLOAN VS. BAUER What really happened to my candidate's statement, which has now been confirmed from two independent sources, is that my statement was not late. It was in production in Chess Life Magazine, until Beatriz Marinello ordered the Chess Life staff to remove it from the magazine. The claim that it arrived late was just a cover story to conceal what really happened. Sam Sloan And the...

I would love to see this old lewd guy on TV such a brilliant man too !

wrote in message ... Because no one cares about a bunch of kids playing bad chess. Nor should they. I care. And we all played bad chess once. Even Fischer did. But not all these kids will play bad chess! And as a measure of the health

.....well, my team's ass. About 15 years ago. I took this little school that had never had a chess coach and was 0-3 in the city league to finish with a 5-5 record, ending their last two matches against Washington with a 9-1 score and a bunch of miniatures. On the way there, however, they had to play Masterman, coached by Mr. Schutt.

I decided to start a new thread to give Neil's phrasing better attention. His statement from another thread is: " No, most, if not all, of them are going to be gone in a year or two, unless they play in mixed tournaments and clubs with adults. Chess is an adult activity; such scholastic tournaments promote chess as a child's game, to be set aside when they set aside childish things."

The live interview he gave the day after he arrived in Iceland. And an interview to a radio station in Bogota, Colombia! At his website ( http://home.att.ne.jp/moon/fischer/ ).

Yes the USCF is back to its old ways again. It is now April 11 and I have still not received the paper copy of the April supplement. Considering that we have already had 2 weekends go by in April this is ridiculous. It can't be a question of address, as previous supplements have been delivered with no problem. It can't be a question of affiliate membership as my club affiliate dues are paid...

I swear, it's like a drug for them. Regardless of whether or not they were, by letter of some obscure provision, entitled to drop Sam Sloan's candidate statement, you would THINK that our feckless Board would actually try to avoid YET ANOTHER controversy about their ethics and just get the damn thing in the magazine. But no!! They go to press without it! And no-one can seem to find where...

Sam Sloan wrote: Sandra Kimura Sloan prepares for the World Under-4 Chess Championship While I am typing this, my daughter Sandra Kimura Sloan is sitting on the floor next to me playing chess with herself. I did not teach her how to play. She is learning by watching other kids play. As she moves the pieces around, she keeps saying "Check" and "Bobby Fischer", words she must have...

Ayn Rand, the greatest "philosopher" that ever lived, wrote a letter to Boris Spassky shortly before he was going to play his world championship chess match with Bobby Fisher in 1972. Here's a look at her mug: http://www.libertystory.net/images/rand3.jpg An Open Letter to Boris Spassky

In a non-chess newsgroup Neil Brennan volunteered accusations that I held anti-semitic views, to which this poster replied Bianca Steele wrote: I don't worry that you're a racist, Phil; if you were a racist, you would speak only to men of your own ethnic group, and regard the rest of us as not worth any effort on your part towards civility. Brennan then wrote:
