http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007/08/accoona-files-for-805-million-ipo.html I am wondering what this is all about. This company, touted on Susan's website only a few days ago, is now in trouble with the SEC and the public offering has been withdrawn. I am wondering if Susan is involved in some way with these people. Sam Sloan

In a few weeks the Miami Chess Open will take place. Big production. Lots of prize money for a chess tournament. Based on about 750 or something like that. It will be interesting to see how many players south Florida can draw. Offhand, I'm gonna guess Miami will pull in somewhat less than 300 and the promoter will lose a big chunk of dough. But what do I know? Nothing. Maybe I'm wrong and...

One major benefit among many in the Mensa Model scheme is the potential build-up of money in the metro umbrella account. Here's how: Suppose a District umbrella chose to run only tournaments, maybe four per year. Instead of blowing their on one big "production" they tried to design their tournaments to fit only a realistic guess as to the drawing power of their area. Tough to do, but if they...

At the Finance Committee Workshop two weeks ago, the delegates were handed a balance sheet and P & L statement for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. However, it was marked "DRAFT". The delegates were explained that the reason it was marked DRAFT was that some final signatures had to be obtained before these figures were official. However, these signatures were just routine and these were the...

It is true that I will do better out in the real world than I do on the USCF Forums, but what is the reason? The reason is that the Forum is inhabited by a small but determined group who have nothing better to do with their lives but attack me all time. Included in this small group are tanstaafl, whose real name is Herbert Rodney Vaughn, who has posted more than two thousand times attacking me,...

It has been reported that Sam Sloan is a child molester and a pedophile. Everyone knows this. Sloan is now teaming up with litigator Brian P. Lafferty and pseudo accountant Donna Alarie for a dry cleaner to sue the USCF. This trio gives the term "White Trash" a bad name.

It has been reported that MA attorney Brian P. Lafferty plans to sue the USCF. I'm certain that it will happen. That's why he has been provoking everyone on the USCF forums. He also works with Donna Alarie to get confidential financial information to support his case. Sam Sloan

The following is the letter from Joel Benjamin in which he sets forth his objections to the US Championship. It was copied by me into BINFO 200700775. In reading this, please note that Joel Benjamin was the only Grandmaster who expressed a willingness to play the US Championship online, provided that the prizes were substantial: At 11:38 PM 3/6/2007 -0500, Joel Benjamin wrote:

I have made the following motion: Resolved the name of the Girls Tournament Held at the US Open is hereby changed to the "Irina Krush Tournament of Champions". My reasons are as follows: Susan Polgar states that she wants to hold the tournament in her name at Texas Tech University. At the same time, the USCF is unwilling to give up a successful tournament that we have developed over the last

I see that a former candidate for the board has now expressed himself on 'Sam Sloan's' Yahoo newsgroup, and wondered how vague could you get? Are there any issues raised below that have to do with chess players or playing - if you can spot one let me know. Let's reference Anne Frank instead! Who was terribly naive in the end about what people could do to other people, as if somehow a mention...
