Last week Chessbase.Com reported on the brutal murder of an IM by his own son, who afterward tried to commit suicide. Their headline, "The Tiger is Slain" (evidently his nickname was "Tiger"), was accompanied by a silly Tony the Tiger-like cartoon character with a goofy face playing chess. Yesterday they advertised a newly found game between Fischer and Karpov, which you could only see if you...

In reading through the posts of the candidates who actually know how to post a URL here (one that is complete and clickable), it occurred to me that while we have the expense side issues thoroughly addressed, I have not heard a single new idea to generate revenue for the USCF. Would any candidate who cares to, please tell us how you are going to contribute to the revenue side of USCF finances in...

Beatriz Marinello's "expenses" should be made public for the simple reason that we have been consistently told that she is not an employee, but an independent contractor overseeing the move to Crossville (but why can't others who already are on the payroll perform this function)? Larry Parr Who? Who has the dedication? Who has the business credentials? Who will put in long hours for heaping...

The USCF needs a new direction. We need to elect people like Sam Sloan, Ray Gordon, Stan Booz and Richard Petersen, etc. They can save the USCF. Sloan can be the flashy pimp. Gordon can be the drug lord. Peterson can collect the money and our buddy Booz can cook the books. Comments?

Watched the video's of Fischer landing in Iceland. He reminds me of Howard Hughes only thing missing is the long finger nails. He reminds me of the street alcoholic bumming change on the corner, except Fischer does not drink. It appears Fischer will have to be placed in an insane asylum soon, he simply is to delusional and unable to care for himself. Seems he will die penniless like Steinitz...

Sam Sloan wrote: It was recently discovered that Paul Nemenyi was the real father of World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Discovered by whom? Phylly Inquirer, Rene Chun and Tim Krabbe? They're known to make things up. It's nowhere to be found even in the FBI files. Bobby said that his father was Gerhardt Fischer and we should believe him and not the Inquirer, Chun, nor Krabbe. If you contact...

Both are solutions to the "draw death" of chess. I prefer one-minute chess because I think it only makes sense that as chess theory advances, the time controls should be shortened, and the public would love to see pieces flying in a game it can understand. -- Ray Gordon, Author http://www.cybersheet.com/easy.html Seduction Made Easy.

The 'Washington Post' is talking of the "shame of Iceland" and saying that the Icelandic parliament (of "a democratic nation") ought not to "ignore" the "depths" to which Fischer has "fallen". I.e. how dare the authorities of this "tiny" country not play along with whatever the gangsters who own the US State decide they currently want to do, even in...

Is it true that there are discussions of organizing the First International Open Fischer Random Chess Tournament in Reykjavik this summer, or am I just spreading unfounded rumors? -Eustace

There have been several revenue ideas presented in our "Revenue anyone" thread. So, following the process, why don't we agree to a two week continuation of the search for new revenue ideas. Everyone put on your thinking cap, muzzle your negativity, and produce new ideas. Tom Klem
