Marcus is afraid to rant and rave on the USCF forum. He's nothing but a big fat chicken. He doesn't dare to attack me there because he knows that I'll kick his ass. What a coward! Be afraid Marcus! Be very afraid! Sam Sloan

Matt Nemmers has organized a group of posters here to sign up to play e-mail chess as a team - I understand he has enough players to begin, so wonder if he has challenged or been challenged by any other team yet? Meanwhile, Rob Mitchell's initiated tournament is heading to a close, with slower moves in, now, critical positions. About 4 or 5 people who post here are taking part, joined by 4...
