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.

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

USCF President Ordered Name of Sam Sloan not to be Published in Chess Life by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 shocking news from the new BINFOS is that Bill Hall plans to

known to criticize her.
Presently, there are three moderators to the forum but only two are

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

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.

KIRSAN IS A DUNDERHEAD: GM Short is ordered to SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! by

okay to call someone a cheat but not a dunderhead.

Duncan Oxley has died by

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

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

General Questions about the new uschess.org website by

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...
