You can confirm this at 850-674-5049, if you wish. The police called Goichberg, USCF President, and asked if I should be arreseted for entering the 2007 US Open...

I'd like to attempt to get some interesting chess related topics going on this forum like it once was. I'd like to start by asking Sam to give us his impressions of what it was like to be on the USCF Board as an elected member? What did he enjoy most, which of his accomplishments is he most proud of and also what things was he upset, annoyed or angry about? Rather than bash Sam, which will I...

Sam Sloan stated that he wants to see Brian Lafferty suspended from the USCF forums. When asked of the reason, Sloan stated that Lafferty's endorsement costs him the election.

I didn't stay at the hotel (the Crowne Plaza) where the US Open is held. The police sent in a complete anti terrorism squad to interview me. THEY WENT TO A DIFFERENT HOTEL. The police claimed I was "banned" from the meeting, but then they called Goichberg, and some discussion occured, and then I was not banned. Guards watched my every move. I broke no law, and shook hands with the secuirty...

At the first meeting of the new executive board at 3:00 PM on Sunday August 5, 2007, Dewain Barber said that he had posted eight times to this forum and that in view of the nastiness of the response to his postings he was asking the board to shut down this forum for 30 days. Joel Channing spoke in favor of closing down this forum. I believe that Channing wants to shut down the forum altogether,...

I remember when I left chess politics that the USCF was having financial difficulties nearly every year. Everyone had their opinions about what was wrong and how to deal with it (or not deal with it) but not only did we keep hiring ineffective ED's we also kept losing 6 figures every year, forcing us to dip into our LMA funds or to borrow against our building. I just wondered how USCF has been...

In another forum a question was asked about what are other rating sources other than the USCF. These are just a few, not all. There may be many more that are even better than what is here. Here are just a few of the chess rating services: http://www.cxrchess.com/ Free Service here : http://chess.about.com/library/weekly/aa04l11j.htm

I have added no text to the following, but eliminated much individual biographical material. //Phil Innes -- Press Release #21 of 2007

George Arndt has an object of intense preoccupation. Yes, WE know that Susan Polgar is not an object. However, following news that Susan Polgar has attained the newly-created position of Chairman of the Executive Board, George had this to say: "What I see for USCF is we need to have Susan out there raising sponsorship

Over a week ago I made a wild guess and for once predicted a winner - here is the result from Biel, former US Champ Alex Onishuk who has been playing strongly in Europe and Russia also scored 5.5 points, but Carlsen took the cake. 1 Carlsen - 5.5 2 Onischuk - 5.5 3 Pelletier - 5.0 4-6 Polgar, Grischuk, Radjabov - 5.0 7-10 Bu Xiangzhi, Van Wely, Motylev, Avrukh - 3.5

Now that he has been elected to the USCF Executive Board, will the Fake Sam Sloan stop posting to this group? Sam Sloan

This exchange reminds me of the Monty Python sketch of the dead parrot, where John Cleese has to insist that it is not repining, resting, hibernating ... its dead! This exchange is about USCF as it actually is, not what is proposed to be at the fag-end of yet another election, full of promises and naught else. //Phil Innes They have enough bucks to go another few years, if there is no...

(reprised) Over the last several months, I have repeatedly warned this Executive Board, and I have copied you, about the dangers of USCF working with Susan Polgar and Paul Truong. These two individuals are constantly trying to rip us off, and they have often succeeded. For example, the highly unusual five-year, $30,000 contract Susan Polgar was given to write for Chess Life. There are...

By a previouSLY negotiated legal agreement with Frank Niro, this event now qualifies as a media promotion in connection with the USCF, and so Ms. Polgar is entitled to the $5000 honorarium. However, Susan has aGREED to waive her appearance fee...

and without comments of a negative nature I'd be interested in finding out where the following chess personalities from here or USCF are now? Hopefully they are all still living whether political friend or foe. Steve Doyle James Eade Tom Dorsch George John Kevin Bachler

As much as I think that Sam Sloan is morally bankrupt in his personal life as the fact that he seems to create more implausible conspiracy theories then the Branch Davidians, in all honesty he did seem to serve a useful purpose on the USCF board. 1) He was not controlled by any of the self serving members of the USCF's "leadership" 2) He did bring some things that I would classify as "shady...
