Better Excuses for Joel Channing for the "Under the Table" Incident by samsloan
During the USCF Executive Board meeting on November 17, 2006, Joel Channing reached under the table and put his hand on Beatriz Marinello's leg. Beatriz simply removed the hand from her leg and said nothing about it. I know about this only because I was sitting next to Beatriz and witnessed the incident. Beatriz asked me not to say anything about it, and I have done so.

Response to Ethics Complaint by Herbert Rodney Vaughn by samsloan
Response to Ethics Complaint by Herbert Rodney Vaughn Herbert Rodney Vaughn has filed a 400 page ethics complaint against me. I think the length of the complaint speaks for itself. For reasons unknown to me, Mr. Vaughn has been obsessed with me for some time. He has been attacking me on the USCF Forum at http://www.uschess.org/forums under the fake name of tanstaafl for the last one year, with...

Susan Polgar's "Vision Statement" by samsloan
I suppose that you must be referring to the statement by Susan Polgar below. However, these are just meaningless feel-good statements that candidates often make. They do not address any of the serious problems that the USCF is facing now. They also do not answer such pertinent questions as: When will Susan return the computer she took from the USCF offices on August 20, 2003?

Michael Aigner on the US Championship by samsloan
Bill Goichberg has posted elsewhere that it was entirely because of Sam Sloan that "we the people" backed out of sponsoring the US Championship. (For those of you not in the know, the term "we the people" is Wall Street slang or an euphemism or nickname for the largest brokerage firm. We all know who that is.) However, above Bill states that it is because of "Internet Postings" that "we the...

Modern Joseki and Fuseki, Volume Two, went for sale on Amazon today by samsloan
Modern Joseki and Fuseki, Volume Two, went for sale on Amazon today. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0923891765/slavesofthomasje For some unknown reason, they printed Modern Joseki and Fuseki, Volume Two, before they printed Volume One, even though I finalized Volume One a day before I finalized Volume Two. But, anyway, I am not complaining as I am sure that Volume One will be out in a...

Bill Goichberg and the 2007 US Championship by samsloan
I have been avoiding the forum ever since Bill had me suspended from posting here, but I cannot let this one pass. At a meeting in Seattle in February, 2006, Bill Goichberg was informed that AF4C was downgrading its involvement in the US Championship. Thus, Bill knew by that date that AF4C would probably not be sponsoring the 2007 US Championship. According to the contract with the Seattle...

Hard Disk Data Recovery Expert by samsloan
Hard Disk Data Recovery Expert I have had a serious problem with my hard drive, which crashed in October, 2006. As the hard drive contained books that I had written, it was necessary to recover it. I took it to all kinds of experts and none of them could do anything about it, plus I even had to pay. I wish to report that I have finally been able to recover most of the data on my hard drive.

Why does everyone hate me? by samsloan
Can anybody answer this question? I'm the most well known person in chess. Perhaps people are jealous of my success? Sam Sloan USCF Executive Board Member

3 with one blow by Chess One
reposted from elsewhere Erik Anderson also said that he will donate $25,000 to the USCF. We might use this money as part of the prize fund for a US Championship, with additional funding by another sponsor. $25,000 is enough if there are no other bidders.

I have been suspended from posting to uschess.org/forums by samsloan
I have been suspended from posting to uschess.org/forums Mike Nolan has sent me notification that I have been suspended for one week from posting to the USCF Forums. This in itself is not surprising. Susan Polgar and Paul Truong have been demanding for the longest time that I be banned from posting to the forums. Also, Joel Channing has been bombastically demanding that the moderator and the...
