It just so happens that my wife, Kayo Kimura, is an accounting major at Lehman College, a division of CUNY, and she is taking a course in advanced auditing this semester. Her professor is a partner in Deloitte Haskins & Sells. My wife just spent two weeks in the hospital. She was seriously ill. She sent me to her class to take notes and report back to her on the professor's lecture. The...

If we elect a person that has no morals(however you deem them) in their personal life. If a person was cheating on their wife(with children involved). This leading to divorce. If that person married the woman they were cheating with,(but...

What you can no longer read on Polgar's blog: "Open Thread About the USCF" Anonymous said... Susan, did you or did you not send such an email to the people at USCF management regarding Joe Lux?. A straight answer please. I am a long time supporter of yours and if you did this......well, yes or

Not sure if black has a forced win or not. This position came up in one of my tournament games and I was getting low on time so i simply accepted my opponent's draw offer even though i'm a pawn up. I think it might be a textbook draw anyway. It's just out of the reach of the tablebases. 8/5k1N/7R/2np1r2/8/8/3K4/8 w - - 0 73 wKd2,Nh7,Rh6/bKf7,Nc5,Rf5,Pd5

I posted some chess puzzle videos on youtube. If anyone has any feedback on them I'd like to hear it. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBsIV7bz8SY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzULjZT18TM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15tiESU6_Tg Kevin Houston http://www.chesspuzzlebook.com/

She sends an email to some of the USCF honchos with an "anonymous" email she says she received claiming that Joe Lux did something terrible at a youth chess tournament more than 30 years ago. USCF politics hits an all time low. How much lower will Susan go to get elected? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1...

To the best of my knowledge, USCF has not received a reply from its attorney concerning the legal questions that were sent to him last week. There is nothing unusual about that as the questions go back to the 2002/2003/2004 time period and may very well require...

Pulling formats over from the USCF Forum is trickier than I thought.... This is a dry run I tried six weeks or so ago: formatting advice would be appreciated. http://amaurosis-schaccistica.blogspot.com/

However, we are facing a very serious situation. This is the same problem that has existed in the USCF for decades. This is the same problem that chased away many...

Received from USCF: NOTIFICATION OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION Date: Thursday April 26, 2007 To: Brian Lafferty You have been given a level 2 sanction. This will result in a 1 week ban from posting to the USCF Forums. It is the opinion of the Forum Oversight Committee that you are in violation

Gregory Alexander said "I assure you, from this moment forward; I will never do business with you. Don't call me, don't write personal letters to me again Hal. Our friendship is terminated."

Rather than continuing to hijack a thread of a specific desire, and having it wonder around in strange eddies of whatever... I start a new thread. There appears to be a belief, (that I also share), that a "popular" TV show on chess would both tap into the wide amateur participation of chess and help propel chess from it's nerdy backwater of conference rooms in libraries to a more...

If chess is to be a profession,should not the USCF promote it? I believe that a PR department (or as a function of the E.D.) should promote more USCF "Meet the Masters" type of events. Imagine a group of touring GMs and IMs touring the US. Well publicised events with simuls, instructions and meet and greets. It would be used to turn chess celebs into media celebs. Simul play fees could be split...
