Proposal to Post Top-100 lists on the Internet by samsloan
This is a great idea. I wish I had thought of it. I wish somebody had thought of it. However, I am a bit nervous about posting in the Internet the names and ratings of very young children. For example, should we post a list of the 100 top rated girls under 8 ? I think we should seek some advice on this touchy question before going forward. Sam Sloan

Gregory Alexander demands an "Official Retraction" by samsloan
A large number of my postings have been deleted and I have never been told what was wrong with them other than a vague general statement that they "violated the AUG". You are well known for your attacks on other posters. Now, you take offense at the mild statement "thus far" and you demand an official retraction. If they applied the same standard to you as they do to me you would have been...

Susan Polgar wants "permanent banning" of "trouble makers" by samsloan
We need a prompt system with as little bureaucracy as possible. Once a system is in place and the trouble makers are properly sanctioned including permanent banning, there will be no problem with the forum. 99% of the problems are caused by less than 10 people. Best wishes, Susan Polgar www.SusanPolgar.com www.SusanPolgar.blogspot.com www.SusanPolgarFoundation.org

USCF President Ordered Name of Sam Sloan not to be Published in Chess Life by samsloan
You seem to be referring to me. It is true that I have published five chess books, the Troitzky book, the Kasparyan book, the Whitaker book, the Weaver Adams book and recently the Benko book and none of them are being sold by USCF Sales. Plus I have a book on Chinese chess, which is by far my most popular book. However, I would be happy to have USCF Sales carry my books. The USCF President...

Bill Hall plans to disable the FOC by samsloan
The shocking news from the new BINFOS is that Bill Hall plans to eliminate most of the powers of the Forum Oversight Committee or FOC and Susan Polgar wants to ban entirely about ten miscreants who are known to criticize her. Presently, there are three moderators to the forum but only two are active after one killed himself and the two active forum moderators were selected because they are the...

Free speech, bad laws, and a gathering storm... by samsloan
What is not reasonable is you coming in as a new moderator and on the first day turning everything upside down by ruling that URLs to websites cannot be posted. This forum has been in existence for about three years and has had many moderators, but before this nobody had ever suggested such a rule. Now, when postings by a widely divergent number of posters who do not have a history of agreeing...

If you were the world Champion would you give up your title like by parrthenon@cs.com
A BEAUTIFUL MIND But of course, I could never be world champion; this is partly because chess is not important enough to waste a valuable mind on. It's just a game; a complete waste of time. Life is short. That's why I have given up chess altogether. -- Help Bot Greg Kennedy -- our embittered Indiana factory worker and excuse-maker -- implies that he has "a valuable mind."

False Claims by Polgar by samsloan
False Claims by Polgar Polgar propaganda constantly claims that Polgar is a "Four Times Woman's World Champion". This is not true. She only won the Woman's World Championship one time. That was in 1996. Now that she has been elected, this allegation appears on the USCF website. It will be interesting to see if this appears in Chess Life, where everybody will know that it is false.

Nomorechess desire fulfilled by GetClub Chess. by Sanny
Nomorechess was asking me to improve the Tactics for many days. I was not understanding how to do that. But today an apple dropped and the GetClub Chess Tactics was improved. So the game will now make better moves than earlier as it will look for tactics much deeper than earlier. Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html And let me know how good tactics GetClub Chess is playing against...

Duncan Oxley has died by samsloan
Duncan Oxley has died Duncan Oxley, a well known chess tournament and Internet personality has died in Marina, California. I am shocked to hear of his death especially since he called me on Wednesday, August 29, 2007, and we had a telephone conversation lasting over an hour on a wide variety of topics. He told me that he was seriously ill. He had a disease of the large

Fide, joys of by Chess One
Sam Sloan is either innocent or merely pedantic - here below is his own sense of Fide's truth-speaking - personally I think he is an innocent, since the SU managed Fide was rather too gritty to view at the time, and he shares his inattention with many people. //Phil Innes These were official FIDE World Championships. You may argue that these titles may not be as prestigious as the...

General Questions about the new uschess.org website by samsloan
What board did that? Certainly not the board I was on. I would have strongly opposed this and remembered it. I have attended both of the meetings of the new board. There was never any vote saying that college chess should be lumped together with scholastic chess. We have about 40,000 scholastic members. He have about 500 college age members. When kids go to college they have more important...
