Susan Polgar, a member of the US Chess Federation's Executive Board,
has recently made misleading public statements regarding the Kamsky-
Topalov match and USCF's open letters to FIDE. The purpose of this
statement, approved by a majority of the Executive Board, is to set
the record straight.
1. USCF's open letters to FIDE were written at the request of the
Kamskys and did not interfere with their objectives. It was
appropriate that USCF voice public support for our world championship
contender, who we believed was not being treated fairly.
