Police report on Marcus Roberts by parrthenon@cs.com
MARCUS ROBERTS SECURITY GUARD The readers here might be interested to know that when Marcus Roberts showed up at the USCF Committee meetings in Cherry Hill NJ starting on August 1, 2007, the USCF hired a private gun-toting security guard to follow Marcus Roberts around as he went from committee meeting to committee meeting. Just to make sure, I asked the guard if he had been hired to follow...

Goichberg the Vaudevillian by OdessaChess[_2_]
It's quite an act over on the USCF Issue's forum with Bill the ventriloquist and his dummy John Hillery. Don't miss it. Admission is only $41 for adults; $25 for young adults.

Truong and Polgar quit the USCF Forums (again) by samsloan
It will not take long. Notice that he thanked all but one of the members of the FOC. The one member of the Forum Oversight Committee that he did not thank was David Quinn ("Artichoke"). I wonder why he did not thank him. Sam Sloan

Getclub Chess beat whitehat with easy level. by Sanny
Whitehat a strong player was beaten by easy level. However nomorechess was able to win with easy level. Play Chess at: http://www.getclub.com/Chess.html That game had bugs when nomorechess won. Now the bugs have been removed. I feel It would be a lot difficult to win Easy & Normal Levels. Now the GetClub Chess plays in time.

Polgar/Truong rips off USCF Forums design?! by samsloan
I too find it disturbing that the new Polgar/Truong discussion forum uses the same software, same colors, same design, same format and even many of the same postings as the USCF Forums. Take a look at http://www.chessdiscussion.com/phpBB3/index.php However, I do not see how this can be called an ethical violation. Bad sportsmanship perhaps, but not unethical.

2008 US Championship questions by samsloan
Good question. Jerry Hanken (and no doubt others) claimed that AF4C would come back with big bucks and start sponsoring the US Championship again, provided only that Sam Sloan be defeated for re- election. Let's see if that really happens. Sam Sloan

Adios Paul by OdessaChess[_2_]
From the USCF Issues Forum this morning: "Andy, both Susan and I were very active here at one point until some people decided to drop in. She was trying to help because she truly believes in interacting with chess players of all levels. She has done this long before this forum. All she requested is for people to be respectful and civil. Thanks to a few, there goes that. She only asked to...

Not Seen On Polgar/Truong's chessdiscussions.com by OdessaChess[_2_]
An ethics question. Is there a conflict of interest in two board members setting up what are essentially competing forums with the USCF and its forums to which the board members owe a fiduciary duty of loyalty? In fact, the color and format of the Polgar/Truong forum is strikingly similar to the USCF forums. Most of the discussion forums on their site parallel the forums on this site. In as...

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. Sam Sloan

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 www.SusanPolgar.com www.SusanPolgar.blogspot.com www.SusanPolgarFoundation.org

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 USCF President...

Bill Hall plans to disable the FOC by samsloan
The shocking news from the new BINFOS is that Bill Hall plans to eliminate most of the powers of the Forum Oversight Committee or FOC and Susan Polgar wants to ban entirely about ten miscreants who are known to criticize her. Presently, there are three moderators to the forum but only two are active after one killed himself and the two active forum moderators were selected because they are the...
