The current Maor of LA made an insane list of often contradictory campaign promises to get himself elected. At his first press conference as Mayor, he was asked when he would begin implementing his fantasy wish list. His reply? "I didn't promise to do them all in my first term" Sam didn't promise one million scholastic members in his first term. We lost a great opportunity by not giving him...

After an extremely divisive election campaign in which many feel was the dirties campaign in USCF election history, Susan Polgar was elected in a landslide and received probably the highest percentage of votes in any contested USCF election. In recognition of this, Susan was given the title of "Chairman of the USCF" (a title that does not exist in the bylaws but that is another issue). Now,...

Just a top note: I have received several other inquiries on 'insider-trading' - one from another GM, and 2 more from national names in chess, and I have also invited 2 board members to look at this situation after they get their feet under the table - or the full board, as necessary. If what follows at bottom is part A of the affair, part B relates to trading-partner practices, and here is a...

I believe that the word "Trollgar" was originally invented by Neal Brennen, who has recently returned to posting here as "The Historian". The first use I can find of the word "Trollgar" comes in the thread entitled "Legal Threats from Polgar and Truong", posted on January 1, 2004. The term "Trollgar" has become widely accepted. For example, Jennifer Shahade uses it in her acclaimed book "Chess...

How well did the various state open tournaments do this past Labor Day? I skipped the Florida Open. Too expensive overall, maybe $500 just to play six games of chess. Sorreeeee. Maybe my USCF Metro District will organize some events closer to home. Old Haasie

The naming of degrees eventually became linked with the subjects studied. Scholars in the faculties of arts or grammar became known as masters, but those in philosophy, medicine and law were known as doctor. As study in the arts or in grammar was a necessary prerequisite to study in subjects such as philosophy, medicine and law, the degree of doctor assumed a higher status than the...

The Great Issue of the Day which is currently being debated by the USCF Executive Board is whether there should be "enforcement" of the guidelines for allowing postings to the moderated USCF Issues Forum, or whether that is insufficient and there should rather be "strict enforcement". Bill Goichberg feels that "enforcement" should be sufficient, but Channing, Truong and Polgar insist that rather...

Anyone going to Mesquite for this tournament, let us know how many people play.

Okay please forgive me, because I left this forum at the end of 2003 and I was wondering if people can answer some of these questions regarding what happened at USCF after I left: a) What became of US ChessLive and the contract that it had with USCF? b) Who is the current editor of Chess Life and what kind of magazine is Chess Life now in terms of length and quality?
