Things are really heating up and it is going to be interesting as Ed
Labate and Ed Trice threaten each other.

I do not know either of them so I have no opinion as to who is right,
but Ed Labate has been involved in chess both as a book seller and as
a tournament organizer for at least 40 years whereas Ed Trice is a
recently arrived huxter, so I am inclined to believe that Ed Labate is
right and Ed Trice is a fraud.

On the other hand, Ed Labate filed a frivolous lawsuit against the
USCF around 25 years ago for refusing to list his tournaments in the
TLA section of Chess Life and was paid a settlement of $30,000. Ed
Trice gets favorable mention for revealing that Rob "The Robber"
Mitchell was trying to scam him for $35,000. Ed Trice has received a
lot of favorable publicity on the Polgar websites.

Read the following websites and formulate your own opinion:

We have Trice saying
"You see, I am not married, nor have I ever been"

And yet back in 2003 on www.gothicchess.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040423184606/gothicchess.org/ic_2003_04.html
the "Gothic Chess Patriarch" quoth:
"I was there with my wife Ellie"

(I love the WayBack Machine! - www.archive.org)

This is just example where Trice has been caught out lying. The most
hilarious examples can be found when he talks about the Gothic Chess
tournaments he held which attracted 4000 or more participants!

<Ed Labate has been involved in chess both as a book seller and as a

Sam, I'm 53 years old...I've been selling chess books since 1979, and
running tournaments since 1981,i.e. 24 years old and 26 years old, not
at 13 years old!

<On the other hand, Ed Labate filed a frivolous lawsuit against the
USCF around 25 years ago for refusing to list his tournaments in the

Sam, I've emailed you on this before, and yet you persist and
misstating what happened: The USCF suspended my affiliation without
due process, i.e., notice. This was the famous "We received your
money. However, your flag fell!' Gerry Dullea witticism. The USCF
refuse to reinstate me, even though I know had a ZERO balance, thereby
destroying my business. My business was based on foot traffic. Yes,
they paid me to settle out of court $30,000.00, 13 months later!!
Well, the damage was done. I won the battle and lost the war. My
business never recovered and in 1990 I closed down my chess center and
starting selling vintage sportscards.

Here is a message that Trice posted on chessgames.com just before the
eBay auction for "My 61 Memorable Games" in December 2007:

"Ed Trice: Not only is that old news, he is doing much better.
Furthermore, his new book is being printed right now. A new email
address can reach the man in direct contact with him regarding
resellers who wish to order it. This is for people who will order 100
or more copies of it at a time for resale. If some of you want to "ask
the man" anything, coming directly from him himself, get on this list.
Maybe if you order 10 books at a discount and get 9 other people to do
the same, one of you can collect the order money and make a reseller
purchase of 100 books. For all serious inquires, send an email to
GothicC...@aol.com and I will help move this along. NOTE: All I
did was hook Fischer up with a reliable printer, I don't have the
book, I don't have access to the book, I just helped him out when
everyone else turned their backs on him."

This doesn't really gel with what Trice now claims his involvement
was, does it?

Interesting point: It is primarily because of Ed Trice that Rob "The
Robber" Mitchell got his moniker "The Robber".

So, as it becomes increasingly clear that Ed Trice was behind the "My
61 Memorable Games Hoax", one must consider the possibility, however
unlikely as it may seem, that Rob Mitchell really did not try to
swindle Ed Trice out of $35,000.

Also, it was Ed Trice who claimed that he had written a computer
program that had solved the game of checkers. This turns out not to be
true either.

So, we must look back and re-evaluate all the claims that Ed Trice has
been making.

Lots to read. Some things contradict. Tough to sort out. A few things
though

You can't take anyone to court after you blab about it the way stuff
went on here. Legal matters are private matters. Someone wronged you,
you have to go through proper channels. The fact that both people
ranted about it on the web is grounds to dismiss anything mentioned as
evidence.

The Wikipedia page shows him as born in PA, but

Searching around with internet detective and Intelius web site you
find

Ed Trice in Port Jefferson, NY
Ed Trice in Belle Terre, NY
Ed Trice in Syosset, NY
Ed Trice in Long Beach, NY
Ed Trice in North Wales, PA
Ed Trice in Jamison, PA
Ed Trice in Doylestown, PA
Ed Trice in Hatfield, PA
Ed Trice in Dover, DE
Ed Trice in Rehoboth Beach, DE
Ed Trice in District Heights, MD
Ed Trice in Salisbury, MD
Ed Trice is Denton, MD

4 of the addresses correspond to someone 70+ years in age.
3 of the addresses correspond to someone 50+ years in age.
6 of the addresses correspond to someone 40+ years in age.

The Hatfield address was for a 74 year old that died in August of
2004. I assume that is not the person.

The Delaware addresses are both for a 40 year old with middle initial
"A".
The USCF ID page that I saw in one of the posts shows that Edward A
Trice lives in Delaware.
So, this must be the person in question.

The posts on the Chess Ninja page blame someone from PA for making
posts. Again, looks like a case of people jumping to a possible
conclusion.

Next item.

Long long post on the blog about the Fischer match thing. Seems to be
from a few years back. Seems some company asked for money and did
nothing to make the match happen.

Only way to resolve it - can people who contacted Fischer prove it?
What would they be willing to stake to back up their claims? Seems a
simple way. Do a 3 way call with the Iceland folks. Mitchell, Trice,
whoever else. Record it. Turn it into an MP3. Host it. That will
answer that.

As for the book deal and the 6 month scam for $6000.

Seems like a contract is needed. Email is not a contract. Also, saw
somewhere Labate said 'No thanks.' End of story. Declining a deal is
no way to claim 'foul' once you are out.

Did a whole Intelius search on Labate too. Seems he won some sort of
huge law suit from years back. Was a hell of a lot more than $30,000.
Had an extra zero on it. Don't have all the detail, don't care for
them. I saw the scan of the docket.

So what's the docket number for the thing with Trice? No docket means
no case and all the rest is just a bunch of hot air.

I'll just address one of your points for now. Ed Trice (hereafter
called "that buffoon Ed Trice" to distinguish him from any other Ed
Trices) definitely lives in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

The whois server for gothicchess.com:
http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domain=gothicchess.com&prog_id=godaddy
lists his address as 309 Tory Turn, Radnor.

Funnily enough, this is also the address of the Colgan family. Brian
Colgan is one of the few people who actually exist in the Gothic Chess
Federation apart from that buffoon Ed Trice himself, though Colgan is
certainly not involved with Gothic Chess full time.

Since that buffoon Ed Trice went bankrupt and lost his house in 2004:
http://tinyurl.com/49rkog
The most likely explanation is that Trice now lives in a bedsit at the
home of his friend, Brian Colgan.

Take a look at what is happening over on the Wikipedia biography of
Bobby Fischer:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bobby_Fischer#No.2C_we_don.27t_need_Gothic_Chess_mentioned_here

Somebody (no doubt Ed Trice himself) keeps posting to the biography of
Bobby that Bobby agreed to play a match of Gothic Chess.

Of course, this is not true, a pure fabrication. Bobby would not even
agree to play a match of regular chess.

Ed Trice also claims to be the co-author of the computer program that

"solved" the game of checkers.

However, the official website only lists Ed Trice as one of many and
under "database verification" which I suppose means that he played
some games against the computer.

I'll save you a great deal of effort.

I rescinded my US Citizenship in July of 2006 when the Fischer-Kaprov
match took shape and we accumulated over $20 million in pledged
European airing contracts should the event take place. I did so under
advice of my attorneys at Hodgson Russ LLC, who said any moneys I
receive as a US citizen could be in jeopardy otherwise.

It was a recalcitrant process to swear allegiance to the Crown, which
took a tremendous amount of effort to overcome the coddling request to
maintain dual citizenship. I did so as a single citizen of England,
and England only. I managed to complete the ordeal in a record timely
fashion. I own property in the West End of London, I've been 'on the
books' as a full time consultant and contractor there, and I am still,
in every respect, an English citizen with a British Passport currently
on American soil.

I have not, as of yet, re-patriated myself.

So make all the noise you want, I'm not motivated in any way to

Hi Edward,

This is another laughable lie from Trice. It takes years to become a
British citizen (I have never even heard of the term "English citizen"
before).

Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_citizenship#Acquisition_of_British_citizenship

If Trice married a British woman he could become a British citizen
after three years IF HE LIVED IN BRITAIN!

If Trice was not married to a British woman he would need to live in
Britain for five years.

These figures are a minimum requirement, it generally takes a great
deal longer and one thing they are very keen on is that the person is
working for a British company, has skills that are needed and intends
to live and work in the UK.

And of course, how could Trice get by this: "All applicants for
naturalisation must be of "good character". I guess being a terminal
liar makes you something of a 'character'?!

It is laughable that Trice thinks he could renounce his American
citizenship and become British just like that.

Speak to you soon."

The relevent portion:

"British citizenship by naturalisation:
The requirements for naturalisation as a British citizen depend on
whether one is married to a British citizen or not.

For those married to a British citizen the applicant must:

hold indefinite leave to remain in the UK (or an "equivalent (for this
purpose) such as Right of Abode, Irish citizenship, or permanent
residency as a citizen of an EU/EEA)
have lived legally in the UK for three years
show sufficient knowledge of life in the UK, either by passing the
Life in the United Kingdom test or by attending combined English
language and citizenship classes. Proof of this must be supplied with
one's application for naturalisation. Exemption from this and the
language requirement (see below) is normally granted for those aged 65
or over, and may be granted to those aged between 60 and 65
meet specified English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic language competence
standards. Those who pass the Life in the UK test are deemed to meet
English language requirements
For those not married to a British citizen the requirements are:

five years legal residence in the UK
indefinite leave to remain or "equivalent" for this purpose (see
above) must have been held for 12 months
the applicant must intend to continue to live in the UK or work
overseas for the UK government or a British corporation or
association
the same language and knowledge of life in the UK standards apply as
for those married to British citizens
All applicants for naturalisation must be of "good character".
Naturalisation is at the discretion of the relevant authority but is
normally granted if the requirements are met.

Those applying for British citizenship in the Channel Islands and Isle
of Man (where the application is mainly based on residence in the
Crown Dependencies rather than the UK itself) do not have to sit the
Life in the UK Test under policies in effect as of August 2006. In due
course, it is expected that Regulations will be introduced to that
effect in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The provisions for
proving knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic remain
unchanged until that date for applicants in the Crown Dependencies. In
the rare cases where an applicant is able to apply for naturalisation
from outside the United Kingdom, a paper based version of the Life in
the UK Test may be available at a British diplomatic mission. Details

more statements and you actually believe people trust you? You can't
even imagine there is someone who actually is not Ed Trice that posts
here against you, can you? Because you are so arrogant and so full of

complaint against you, the first one, and you went berzerk. You lost

all you posting up until 8am?? Again, you forgot an earlier lie,
while presenting new fabrication…Vintage Trice: Bad Memory!!

"someone filed an eBay complaint against you"

Only Ed Trice would see the posting on my website, ignore all the
correspondence between Paypal, and myself, ignore the simply little
fact, that the PAYPAL claim was denied and that PAYPAL returned the $$
to me, and only Ed Trice would overlook the simple little fact the
German Ed Trice, Olaf Wolna, retaliated by leaving 5 negatives and 6
neutrals because he couldn't keep the $$$ and the books. Cracked??
Nope, it's called exposing SCAMMERS and FRAUDS...in Germany, it's Olaf
Wolna...here in the US, we have Ed Trice!!

How come Ed Trice/Gothic Chess isn't on ebay?? Sales are sales,
arent' they? Ed Trice wouldn't last six months on ebay. Scammers get
exposed very quickly, and get tossed. Ed Trice knows his scams
wouldn't work on ebay!!

Ed Trice...how about posting an image of your British Passport on your
website...as well as some of the documents you must obviously have in
your possession from the US Government granting your request to give
up US citizenship. You post an ebay auction, but won’t post
supporting documentation of renouncing US citizenship, and your new
British Passport, along with supporting documentation.

Additionally, if you were a English Citizen in 2006, how do you lose a
court case in 2007, costing you $25,000.00.

I guess allegience to the crown didn't save your 'English'
wallet??

And here's another email I received while typing up this response:

I agree with you completely. Trice makes everyone hate him no matter
where he goes online. He is the *only* person kicked off of
chessvariants.org. He was also kicked off of brainking.com (well, OK,
he's still allowed to play games there as long as he shuts up). He
made everyone at wikipedia.org editing the same articles hate him. He
was a terror to the online checkers community in the 1990s (I remember
some checkers ladder being stopped because of Trice's harassing
lawsuit threats). He made a fool of himself and more than one enemey
over at redhotpawn.com.

I have never seen him acknowledge the truth; and I have never seen him
apologize.

He's dead meat now. He wasn't able to censor your page telling the
truth about him with threats the way he was able to over at
chessvariants.org. People can now know what he is about and who he
really is.

Yes Ed Trice, everyone knows this is you. No one as dark and as evil
as you could possibly have friends, let alone supporters if they fully
knew your history.

FOLKS, there aren't two people this evil, this stupid and this slimely
in the chess world.

I REPEAT: VINTAGE TRICE ALIAS!! Somebody that has never posted on
this site, who know admits only posting on GothicChess, decides to
'champion' Ed Trice's cause because he received an email out of the
blue, who just happens to be an innocent night watchman (who leaves
work @ 8am, but decides to stay later today), with access to various
computers, and numerous search abilities, and now he's CIA material!

ALSO, MUST READING / Please forward as a warning and Public Service

So now Ed Trice lives in Montgomery County? I thought it was Delaware
County? Or it is Delaware state?

And I have today and tomorrow off to celebrate my 40th Wedding
Anniversary.

Or do you believe that while most weddings that happen in June somehow
excludes me?

I just log on to get a great laugh out loud. Your lives are so
pathetic that this actually matters to you.

Mr. Labate, you are insane. That is my opinion.

My name is Victor Rosen, I turn 63 on July 1, and I approved this

Can you provide us with that email that linked back to this? I don't
know how you would get someones info off of a "blog". Also, if they
got your information off of the discussion group they would have to be
a member of that group and we could try to figure out who it was that
sent the email. Would you please post the email here?
