Louise, I very much disagree with you. I think you are very wrong because: 1. You are not at a high enough level in chess to understand what other women (top-level) went through 2. According to you, you have no children. Therefore, you have no knowledge of how it can affect your performance. (I have 4 daughters and 2 of them do have physical problems each month) 3. You have done virtually...

"Thanks for being my ****** Nick." --Stan Booz (17 March 2004, rec.games.chess.politics) '******' is regarded as an offensive racial slur in every English dictionary of which I know. If "******" is offensive "in every English dictionary" then how can blacks use the term among themselves? ... Stan Booz is a white American whose evident racism has been

Just think...Bobby could be like Helen of Troy, the face that launched a thousand ships. How cool a war between Japan and Iceland would be. Both island nations, neither has a very large military. I hope they go for it. Iceland should start it with a paratroop drop into Osaka, and hold some ports. TMB

Reuters Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:44 PM ET REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - Iceland's parliament granted former world chess champion Bobby Fischer citizenship Monday, enabling the fugitive American to settle in the tiny North Atlantic republic where he won the world title in 1972. Fischer, 62, is currently in detention in Japan fighting a U.S. deportation order.

March 16th, 2005 Mizuho Fukushima: If he had citizenship in Iceland, would he be allowed to go? Ministry of Justice Secretary: Yes, he could go. Masaharu Miura: That's the legal interpretation. March 21st, 2005 (after Fischer was granted Icelandic citizenship) "In principle, one must be deported to the country of origin," maintains Masaharu Miura, head of Japanese Immigration Bureau.

"We don't have the same moral and legal framework as the rest of the world," Scalia said in January, "and never have." -- Luiza Ch. Savage, "Legal Aliens," in The Boston Sunday Globe, March 20, 2005, pages A1, A5 (Focus section). The context of this article concerns the reference to foreign legal standards within U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Scalia is a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the report on the John Henderson's article of The Scotsman in http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2266 it writes: "It helped that he was caught in Japan, one of the _few countries_ the US has a bilateral treaty on tax offenders where there would be an automatic deportation to face the music" (emphasis mine) Which are the other few countries?

Garry Kasparov's retirement from professional chess marks not just the end of an era, but the beginning of a new dark age for professional chess and, most likely, for the game itself. Kasparov is the only legitimate living link to chess's great history. You could argue that Anand has had a better two years or that Topalov was the moral victor at Linares. But neither one, certainly not Topalov,...

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF ORANGE __________________________________________ SAM SLOAN, NOTICE OF CROSS MOTION TO

Well, here we are at the end of 2004 and the USCF has not folded and certainly looks as if it WILL not fall apart. In fact, Bill Goichberg, Beatriz, and the others seem to have things going swimmingly. So, where is the doom and gloomer, Bruce Drano now? Where are the othes that expected and predicted the USCF's disintegration? Oh yes, we have Sam Sloan the Drone going on about false coups and

Tom, Before service today, I looked in the minister's office and found in The Interpreter's Bible that "within" is the usual meaning of the Greek word in Luke 17:21. That suffices for my purpose. That source also mentions that in the original spoken Aramaic, the verb "to be" would have been omitted, so it is possible to question whether present tense was meant. The minister also told me that...

Why is it so important NOW that "We must have the full numbers of what the total move will cost."? (I submit that this can possibly only be answered honestly after all the dust settles in Crossville. An estimate, sure, but "the full numbers"? I may be a neophyte here but somehow I doubt that with ANY move of this kind "the full numbers" can be stated before everything is finished.)

The Year of the USCF Election Fraud 2005 will become known as the Year of the USCF Election Fraud. Every election contains false statements by the candidates. However, this year and this election sets some sort of record for outrageously false and fraudulent statements. A flyer handed out in support of the so-called "team" of four running as a slate this year contains false statements about each...

I have just updated my websight. It stills need some work but that will be ongoing including the section on USCF Elections. Go there now for my endorsements, the reasons why and a little more - www.chessdon.com
