It is posted on Susan Polgar's Official Blog too, so it does not seem that it would be a hoax. http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2008/04/im-moving-back-to-hungary.html However, I still find it to be highly likely that this is an April Fools Day joke. We will find out tomorrow for sure.

to play for them? Or was she looking to fry a bigger fish in Hungary and parts East? Inquiring minds would like to know Ms. Polgar's truth.

Or link to it? Thanks.

I think it's some government experiment designed to weed out the stupid, i.e., those who get sucked in to its soap opera. (Um, this is parody). -- Ray Gordon, The ORIGINAL Lifestyle Seduction Guru Finding Your A-Game:

How about this: Both sides have to play to a forced ending. If stalemate, perpetual check, or the fifty-move rule is reached, each side gets an additional queen, each time a "draw" occurs. This would not change the rules of the game, yet it would eliminate draws, and it would have the side effect of changing a lot of opening and endgame theory very subtly.

It has been published that checkers has been solved. See: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/317/5844/1518 However, I am hearing that checkers has not been solved at all. Only free-style checkers has been solved. Tournament style checkers where there is a drawing to determine the first three moves is still an actively contested game. Which is true? Does anybody know?

From Polgar's Blog: by Anonymous Susan and others: I have to put forward that I don't think this joke was a bit funny. And, yes, I guessed it quickly from the clues. Firstly, let me say that Susan, you are representing approx. 82 thousand USCF members and as a CEO of USCF are a "public" representative.

From Her Blog: To anon 9:53am: Thanks for your comment. However, I disagree. It is one day of the year which we can joke and laugh in good fun. Unfortunately, many things in the article are true. I am fed up with the behavior of some of my colleagues. I am disgusted that they wanted to use my children as pawns in their political games. I am appalled of the unethical conducts by some board...

From the Times Gambit Blog: "In a telephone interview last night, Mrs. Polgar sounded bittersweet as she said the story was a joke, but "some parts of it have some basis for truth.'"

Here is the recent loss Sloan suffered. Jerry Nash of the USCF officiated the match. It was a single game, no time limit. Mitchell drew white and began the game. Sloan defended with black. At the end of the game Nash presented Mitchell with a cashiers check in the amount of 10k. Here is the PGN Mitchell white vs

Looks like Susie Chesspiece won't be going to Hungary after all. What a piece of **** she is. Not that it's at all surprising. More later.

Is this really going to happen? Is this what we discussed at the Nashville planning session? Was this premature? I thought I was to handle the releases. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very important announcement coming up

Some people have found Bobby' laptop and started going through his files. They found some old e-mails he sent. It turns out he was giving advice to Korchnoi, Kasparov, and even Topalov. He came up with that Nxf7 novelty that Topalov played against Kramnik: Take a look: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4543

Hello Chess Friends, Thirsting for new subjects in this newsgroup, I caught the following at Susan's blog the other day: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2008/03/wwwsofiapolgarcom.html I did not know that Zsofia was a painter or that she was interested in international environmental issues. Perhaps we do not hear enough about the third Polgar sister.
