An eye opener by Hans Jørgen Lassen
What can be learned from this Fischer-story? 1. That the American state (and a portion of the American people, though definitely not all) is as vindictive as the God of the Old Testament. 2. That any excuse will be used, in this case a ridiculous crime such as playing 20 games of chess with an old friend. 3. That too many people believe in their leaders and do not use their heads for thinking....

Bushx2 Fischer Saddam by Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (wlod)
Fischer and Saddam were messing with a wrong guy -- Bush-senior. It is one thing to mess with the president of the USA, but another with the FATHER of the president of the USA. Then you have to deal with his SON. That's all there is to it. Nobody likes to have his father offended.

Kevin "Cavemanchess" Bachler promoted by Sam Sloan
Thank you Spam Scum for providing this link. http://benefitslink.com/cgi/show_moversandshakers.cgi?database_id=41797 It proves that Kevin Cavemanchess is as great as he says that he is. Perhaps he will tell us what to do about the 22 USCF employees that are in the process of being terminated.

BBC lyingly say US has requested Fischer's extradition by John A Swartz
I would admonish that Boris Spassky who played against Bobby Fischer in that match in Yugoslavia in 1992 was not punished on any way. For the same match he was awarded in 2003. He was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame in Miami. So, it was not logical that for the same thing one chess player was awarded and second was punished, lost all his properties and menaced with...

Will Fischer be able to travel ?? by Gunsberg
Mike B wrote: Can he travel or does he have to stay in Iceland for the rest of his life ? Some one said the large planes land on an American Air Base , will we arrest him when he gets off the plane ? There are reports that Fischer will first be flown to Denmark, where there will be, one would suppose, a plane available which will be sufficiently small in size as to allow him to land...

My campaign for the Executive Board by curtains
I just want to make it very clear once more that I'm running independently in this election with no ties to any other candidate. Anything you may hear to the contrary is untrue, and I have no "alliances" or unspoken agenda. Any inquiries to my position in this campaign should be directed solely to me. I don't like to get into these discussions, so this is the final time I'm going to address...

Photo of the Year: Bobby Fischer walks with Miss Watai behind him ! by chessdon@aol.com
Sounds like there may have to be two photos of the year and good grief, we are still on the first quarter. The other photo is of Arnold Denker playing his last game of chess. It was taken at the end of the day and shows the setting sun and a lamp casting shadows. It is very symbolic. It is on my website so take a look. My site address is chessdon.com Don Schultz

Fischer gets more support in Japan parliament / the 'UN' point by banana
The point that 'Fischer's incarceration weakens Japan's case for permanent membership of the UN Security Council' is not as silly as some people might think. Basically the point is: 'why should the Japanese government get a permanent seat - and veto - if it can't stand its ground on the "human rights issue" of the US government's persecution of a single individual?' Note the important point that...
