** Mr. Lafferty, YOU are one of the five reasons that I cited for my resignation. Michael Aigner ** What's even more amazing is this forum has become so negative and filled with hatred. A year ago you would have never seen this. Can't people be civil anymore? My 1 year old acts better than half the people on here (like Brian P Lafferty, Brian Mottorshead, Harry Payne, Brenan Nierman, David...

My proposal, which I have advocated for 30 years long before I became a member of the board, is to make the USCF rating system international by first rating a few high level tournaments including the Olympiads which would give every top level player in the world a USCF rating and then invite other countries to have their events USCF rated upon payment of applicable fees. I have presented my...

Do you realize that now that the date to count the votes has arrived and the election is over except for the counting of votes, there still has been no release of financial information, none whatever, expect for my reporting the unaudited figure of a loss of $57,915, and no details beyond that? Had it not been for my reporting of that figure, which I was able to do because I am on the board and...

Problems with Payment of Prizes at the US Championships Phil Innes, who is notoriously anti-USCF and wants to put us out of business, has scooped the board by posting on rgcp that the prizes still have not been paid for the US Woman's Championship, even though the event finished and the players went home a week ago. Also there was a problem with the payment of the top prizes for the US...

St Kitts and Nevis prepares to fire again in ANGER William Kelleher, VICE PRESIDENT OF FIDE, works at Middlesex Community College in Middlesex County, NJ. I have traced his telephone number from the FIDE web site, back to the college catalog. Mr. Kelleher, you don't have much money, do you?

This week's newsletter from Chessville leads with the debacle of the Woman's US Championship brilliancy prize, it says; Chessville readers might recall that Janet Newton, through the website Goddesschess, donated a $300 Brilliancy Prize to the just concluded 2007 US Woman's Chess Championship. The Championship was won by IM Irina Krush (Congratulations Irina!!) and the brilliancy prize was...

Sam Sloan is the best board member we have. He's honest and he keeps the crooks on the board straight. He tells things like it is. Vote for him for 4 more years. We should all stand behind him.

At the tender age of 7, Susan Polgar's oldest son has already mastered the art of exaggerating his accomplishments. In 2006, Tom Polgar-Shutzman won the 2nd grade section of the K-12 national scholastic tournament. As seen in the video "My Brilliant Brain, Part 2", Tom explains "He played well until the end, and then he messed up a lot. He stepped into a one-move checkmate."

I see on page 7 of the delegates call in the box at the bottom the largest item is "Removal of Director Issues". This was where around the first of August 2006 after I had been elected but before I took office Bill Goichberg wrote letters to the Law Firm of Ridger, Weinger and Frankel asking how the results membership election could be invalidated so as to prevent me from taking office or to...

So now one is not entitled to opinions? "In my opinion, Mr. Lafferty lacks even the slightest trustworthiness. I believe the evidence shows that he came into this forum with a chip on his shoulder, determined to make trouble from the very first day. He whined and complained - and then threatened - until Bill Hall and Bill Goichberg folded up like cheap suits. Now we have a massive moderation...

And, of course, our fine legal mind chooses to ignore the fact that Mr. Terrie provided plenty of basis for his opinion... That fine legal mind stated this: Brian Lafferty wrote: Without a stated, factual basis the opinion is just a personal attack. And that fine legal mind tossed out the below basis:

The filing fee used to be $30. It was raised to $250 to keep out the riffraff and encourage a better quality of candidate to run. That has not worked in my opinion. The quality of the candidates has not improved. It will not improve no matter how high you raise the fees because only a small number of people want the thankless and time consuming task of serving on the USCF Board. Requiring all...

Once upon a time there was an ugly frog who desperately wanted to become a prince. Alas royalty in Vietnam was not encouraged so our intrepid little hero packed his bag complete with toy sword and got on a boat to America. This little fat frog was unaware that if he told lies he would never break the wicked spell that held him captive in his fat frog appearance. The boat chugged on it's merry way...
