Beatriz, Bauer, Goichberg, Channing and Hall All Must Share the Blame for the Move to Crossville 
  [quote="ManoICE"]Some questions for Ms. Marinello . . . . I think I already know the answers, however the AUG gets in the way. Nonetheless: (1) When the USCF Executive Board made the decision to move to Crossville, did [b][i]ALL[/i][/b] the Executive Board Members see and comment on [b][i]ALL[/i][/b] the submitted packets?... more »

USCF Candidate Bauer Asked to Explain Why He Constantly Attacks FIDE and Beatriz 
  [quote="Randy Bauer"]'Viciously attack [sic]? Seriously? I think that is quite a bit over the top. I (and others) have raised what I believe to be a legitimate concern: how would you be able to fulfill your fiduciary responsibility to both the USCF and FIDE, given that they have been and likely will be at odds on various issues? I don't think that is a 'vicious attack' - it is a very real concern that you might wish to address.... more »

Russian Failure 
  Carlsen pointed out something unusual. The Tal Memorial is taking place in Moscow but none of the three home (Russian) players had yet to win a game and round 5 has just gone.

USCF Board Continues to Misinform the Members about the Proceedings in the Swiss Court 
  The delegates were NOT informed of what this was all about. They were only told that the arbitration proceeding was started to insure that FIDE followed its own rules. I was at the meeting in Irvine where this occurred, so I know what the lawyer said. The delegates were not told that the purpose was to kick Kirsan off the ballot as a candidate for... more »

USCF Board Members Continue to Attack Beatriz and FIDE 
  [quote="Grayson"]How is Kirsan remaining in power the applicable fact? I'm cheerful to debate, but I'm not going to guess at your rationale, argue against it, and then have you come back and say "I never said that." There's no righteous indignation. I don't often give in to indignation. Kirsan's conduct is disreputable and reflects... more »

Mistakes by the USCF Presidents 
  Beatriz has admitted that she made several mistakes. The Natrol deal was a mistake. The move to Crossville was a mistake. The hiring of an ED who proved to be incompetent was a mistake. However, Goichberg has made far bigger mistakes. Getting rid of the books and equipment business was a mistake when books and equipment... more »

USCF Board Continues to Attack and Misunderstand FIDE 
  [quote="Grayson"]Kasparov and Karpov have bad reputations as far as FIDE is concerned? I consider that a form of praise. But I'll agree with you that reputations matter and should be guarded over closely ;) [/quote] You may have known how to play the game of chess for a relatively long time, but the fact that you do not understand that Karpov and Kasparov... more »

Relentless Election Based Attacks Return to USCF Issues Forum and Responses Blocked 
  What is the "charge" that you want evidence for? I have just re-read my posting and I can see nothing in it that there is any doubt about. If you will look back at postings during the year 2005-2006 you will see that Tanstaafl was an anonymous poster. ALL of his postings during that period were attacks on Sam Sloan. Go back and check. He refused... more »
