I have just received a mailing that refers to Harold Dondis as the Chairman Emeritus of the US Chess Trust. The title of Master Emiritus was awarded by the USCF and included in every USCF rating list in the 1950s and 1960s. The title was supposed to be awarded to elderly players who had once been masters but due to age or infirmity could no longer hold the title. For example, someone like...

(Sam Sloan) writes: It is said that the reason Sabine wants for the USCF to move to Crossville is that Sabine wants the job of executive director for himself. Certainly, Sabine is the only chess person in Crossville capable of holding that position. What a pile of horse**** this is! Harry has a thriving law practice, and he loves being a lawyer.

I"m looking for info on the Senior Open. Rumor has it that it's in Las Vegas, in June - but there's no listing (yet) on the USCF National Tournaments page. -- Kenneth Sloan Computer and Information Sciences (205) 934-2213 University of Alabama at Birmingham FAX (205) 934-5473 Birmingham, AL 35294-1170...

At the 2004 US Senior many including GM Walter Browne, Former World Champion Anatoly Karpov, GM Susan Polgar, GM Arnold Denker, even me were interviewed for a show to be shown on A&E in February. I just found out an early version will be aired 4:00AM this Thursday on the A&E channel (I guess we are not Prime Timers). I was there when they did the interviews and they weree excellent but I have no...

The World Open was down 123 players from last year, the Chicago Open was down 54 players and the Foxwoods Open was down 58 players. Must Raise Dues! The $49er killed off the feeder network that supplied new adult palyers to the mega-Swiss. Higher! Higher! Higher!

Your argument on declining attendance at Sloanberg's tournaments is laughable. Or maybe Bill as the largest vendor with a hardcore customer base was the last to be impacted by the purge of USCF adult members (AKA "$49 adult dues").

(Sam Sloan) wrote in message ... It also orders me to serve the papers on the defendants on or before November 22, 2004. (Snip) I will scan the order and post it on my website in a few hours. Sam Sloan

We received this message from an insider. You can either take it with a grain of salt or as the gospel truth, but my source will never be revealed. This move to Crossville at this time and such notice is basically a disaster. The offer from Liberty is not only on the table, but there are offers from Lindsborg, Kansas; Erik Anderson said he wants to put in an offer; Ellenville, New York...

Costs of moving to Crossville The Executive Board of the USCF voted yesterday to move to Crossville, Tennessee. However, in a surprising move, Randy Bauer, one of the few board members who can add and accomplish other feats of simple arithmetic, and who was previously believed to be in the pocket of Beatriz, did not vote for the move. It appears that Bauer realized that the move to Crossville...

This is another case of Sam Sloan being the underdog challenging the corrupt USCF. I hope that Sam triumphs over evil.
