Joen Channing and His Nine Wise Men by samsloan
However, after all these good and great wise men met, had their deliberations and presented a proposed budget calling for a small surplus, the Executive Board met a few days later only to discover that Bill Hall presented a budget which showed a loss for fiscal year 2007-2008 of $105,973. When asked why this small surplus turned into a big loss only a few days later, it turned out that Bill Hall...

Guests of the Kremlin and the Doolittle Raid by samsloan
Guests of the Kremlin is an almost completely forgotten account of the Doolittle Raid, which was a turning point of the war against Japan. On April 18, 1942, 16 airplanes took off from the Aircraft Carrier Hornet on a mission to bomb Japan. They did not have enough fuel to return, so their plan was to fly over Japan and find somewhere to land in China. In flight, one of the crews realized that...

Forum Oversight Committee procedures discussed by the board by samsloan
At the Executive Board meeting on Sunday, May 20, two days ago, in spite of a lengthy discussion and debate, no motion of significance was voted upon and passed, except that the board voted 6-0 AGAINST the request by Terry Winchester, Louis Blair and other members of the FOC to remove David Quinn from the FOC. We hope that by doing this the FOC members will learn to get along with each...

I'm leaning toward Stephen Jones, Joe Lux, Don Schultz and Mike Goodall. My 5th choice would be Jim Berry. Sam Sloan is definitely last on my last.

Darlink, throw me ze towel, said Number Two from the shower. Number Three thew it and she caught it in mid-air and stepped dripping onto the mat, in the luxury apartment, of the top floor penthouse, 75 stories above the ant-like pedestrians below.

It's been several years since I've visited here, and I need a quick thumbnail sketch of chess politics circa 2007. Last I visited here, probably 2003 or 2004: 1. There was a character really annoying from the Philadelphia region who was a flamer and lived in his mother's basement--is he still here? 2. Sam sloan posted here all the time
