Anybody who is wondering how Susan Polgar achieved such a sweeping election victory has not seen her blogspot. Not only was Susan elected but all of those elected were candidates she supported on her blogspot. Actually, she has two blogspots. They are at: http://www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com/ http://www.uschess.blogspot.com/

Sloan is now interested in anothers mans "member". Sam(call me Ismail) exibits symptoms of mental disease. I think he should be committed to an institution. in samhsloan said: "I was not going to say this but I had better say it now since I have been told that I will likely be kicked off the USCF Forum when I am no longer a candidate. I have excellent contacts...

nolan 10339324 Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 7:04 pm The first day of counting is over. A power outage slowed things down for about 2 hours, actual counting didn't begin until around 3PM. The number of ballots received as of 9AM this morning was 4513, but that does not yet include Wednesday's mail. States counted so far:

The word is he promised Sam Sloan that he'll sue the USCF if Sloan doesn't win. It's now most likely that Sloan will finish 9th, will he sue the USCF? It's big money for Lafferty so it'll be interesting to see his true plan.

Based on the returns so far, I believe it is very likely that Polgar, Bauer and Truong will be elected, along with Jim Berry. There is still a slight chance that Steve Jones will prevail as a result of huge support in California, but this seems unlikely. Randy Bauer would deny that he is part of a "coalition." I believe that he will vote independently, as he did when last on the board, so even...

What you seem to be saying if I understand you correctly is that you pulled a post, then the FOC voted to restore it, it was restored, and then you pulled the post a second time in defiance of the FOC decision to restore the post. If that was the case, then I feel that you should have been sanctioned. After all, you should be required to obey the same rules just like everybody else. Now, you...

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...

Sloan finishes last. Otherwise, he would brag

Excuse me (Kevin Bachler), but your name isn't Michael Aigner. Michael can speak for himself. I'm certain that you'll understand that not only do I not like or respect you, I could not care less what your opinion is of me. Brian P Lafferty

I see Brian Lafferty has a fan. I'm not surprised. I DID present evidence -- two posts that I think have as little relationship to reality as the typical WWN story. Again, there are other examples. I could have mentioned the "chess fund-raising site" whose URL was posted and that supposedly belonged to AF4C, for example. (it was a hard-core pornography site that had no relationship at all to...

** 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...

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...
