The ideal chess federation would be structured somewhat like Mensa. A portion of the national dues would be sent to metropolitan scaled umbrella organizations ... one such org per metro area. In this fashion chess would be proportionally and regularly capitalized at its basic market level. Old Haasie

THIS thread originated in the Fide Chess Group, based on 1/8 of Sam Sloan's final motions, and orbits the topic of fees for services. Sounds like you have a low-affinity attitude, to me. USCF hasn't the time to deal with such folk; they should be ignored. I know you are being funny, Ken. The office cannot afford to ignore the needs of the groups that actually SELL

Trollgar's Dilemma I find it interesting that the Trollgars are now caught in the same dilemma that they tried to catch me. If they squeal, they are revealing confidential information. However, if they remain silent, they have become part of the conspiracy.

Right now there is an election campaign going on. There is still another six days before the final deadline. The election will be close. Just one vote may decide the election. Some candidates favor maintaining the status quo. Some, including me, demand change. (The real views of most candidates are unknown). There are three status-quo guys who will be continuing as board members regardless of...

The real question is not which membership options should be presented to a potential member. It is which ones should exist to enhance the health of the USCF, rather than other parties. --- That certainly is an opinion. Though a rather deliberated emphasis that what benefits chess players and what USCF be different subjects. I wonder why

Each time he murdered somebody, he marked one square on his chess board. His goal was to complete the board. He had only one square remaining when he was arrested for 49 counts of murder for the bodies that were found. He was quoted (translated from Russian) of saying that killing is as necessary as eating, he can't go without killing any more than he can go without food. I learned of this just...

Is that why he played chess all the time and did not want to do anything else?

Subject: Bill Goichberg comments on election results thus far Forgive me for asking, but why even worry about Tanner? Didn't he already resign? **This is a fair question Curt - and as for personalities, it is water under the bridge now.

Appeal from Decision Suspending Sam Sloan from USCF Issues Forum I hereby appeal from the two decisions of the Forum Oversight Committee suspending me from posting to the USCF Issues Forum for one week each. I appeal on the following grounds: 1. My posting, which stated that the USCF Executive Director, Bill Hall, is chronically absent from work is valid commentary. The members

The problem is not Mr. Hall; it is Mr. Channing. Mr. Channing got elected to the board by claiming great managerial expertise. It was claimed that he knew business and finance and had become a very wealthy man and had all the experience needed to set right all the tremendous problems the USCF faced. Now, after sitting for one year on the board with Mr. Channing, I and the other board members...

My Last Motions to the Board Kindly put the following eight motions on the agenda for the last meeting of the current USCF Executive Board As I and two other board members will be leaving the board and this will be our last meeting and also because this will be my only board meeting where there will be a significant audience, I will be making at least the following eight motions which will in...

Googling "dirty chess politician" site: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com produces no results. She used to refer to "Evil Chess Politicians". That phrase was in one of her Chess Cafe articles but was later on taken out. Many times, she referred to "Destructive Chess Politicians". If you cannot find that phrase any more, that would be noteworthy. She especially used the word "Destructive" when the...

Now that our scammy sammy sloan is no longer a board member, where will he sleep when he comes to a chess tournament? Will we find him under some chess tables or will we find him in park benches? Bye bye scammy sammy.

Is that why he played chess all the time and did not want to do anything else?
