I decided to write in person, not somebody else in my name, that is
not professional, ah well, it depands on the situation...Probably some
people wrote you garbage (bigbull69?) about me that is not true, I
dont know, I dont bother anymore nor do I read crap... Got many more
important things on my mind.
You do not have the permission to post this anywhere or to give it to
anybody, you never had the permission to post that statement I made
back in 4/99, I wrote it in haste, many things I did not even say.
forgot to write and countless many other reasons and things I forgot
to mention... Also I am sure there were some grammar and spelling
mistakes, you should have corrected them ( if you knew how... )
I REALLY HATE WRITING YOU, BUT I MUST DEFAND MYSELF... HAVE THIS NOW
AND FOREVER IN CASE YOU WRITE CRAP ABOUT ME. AND I DONT READ YOUR SITE
FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, IT'S VERY.... (feel in the blanks...) sick
making, 2!
DONT REPLY ANYWAY, I WILL NOT READ IT, NOT INTERESTED AND I BLOCKED
YOU LONG TIME AGO. BESIDES YOU ARE ONLY DESTROYING CHESS ( THE GAME I
LOVE A LOT AND SACRIFICED A LOT FOR IT, MY TIME, MONEY ON LESSONS,
MONEY ON EDUCATION ON HOW TO BUILD COMPUTER PROGRAMS, EXTENDED
KNOWLEGDE I GAINED, ETC... ),U R NOT HELPING CHESS, BUT KILLING IT MAN
WITH YOUR PRIVATE LIFE AND SO ON... LIKE MY FRIEND WROTE ABOUT YOU, I
GUESS IT'S ALL TRUE... ON MY SITE, THAT IS NOT MY SITE, MY SITE IS:
CHESSCHAMPBY2K;
EMAIL FOR SLOAN ONLY !
sloan, it's Lupco Steriev ( yes, the J is dropped, it's silent anyway)
TODAY I WAS INFORMED BY SOMEBODY that you accused me of some HUGE BS;
in other words that I ordered some dirty magazines for you some time
ago or recently ? What the hell are you talking about, I never, ever
ordered anything for you nor anybody else you may associate with. (
low life probably anyway... )
I DEMAND YOU IMMEDIATELY STOP SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT ME ON THE NET AND
SO ON, I WISH I WROTE EARLIER...THIS IS REDICULOUS BEYOND ANY
IMAGINATION... U R OVERDOING IT "PAL"! I AM A VERY MORAL MAN AND I TRY
TO LIVE PROPERLY AND ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
SPIRITUAL LAW, TO LOVE MY GOD AND MY NEIGHBOUR, SOMETIMES IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE... AND I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE MESS WITH ME, I WILL GO BACK
AFTER THEM TO SHOW OTHERS THEY ARE WRONG AND LOW-LIFE SCUM, THERE IS
NO TIME FRAME, NOW OR MAY BE MANY YEARS FROM NOW, MY MEMORY IS VERY
STRONG, REMEMBER THAT GOOD.
p.s. Like your games with the Grob; g2-g4, nice combinations, but,
hmmm, still not enough to win againt the top players,U WERE LUCKY, U
PLAYED PATZERS... LIKE YOURSELF; I do thing however any moves in
chess, even h4 and a4 are not strong, but if played correctly, they
are good and may not even loose. After all in chess every game should
be drawn, according to mathematical analysis, true white has always a
tempo, but that is never enough to win if black plays correctly.

I must admit this is a fine combinational game, ( sorry, I dont like
you man, but if I see something good, I will admit it's good, even if
Stalin played a good game, I would say it's good, but still hate the
dude... also u can download some of my games, u know where, also buy)
but the Cemetery Grob Defence is still a subject to debate, you remind
me a little of Bloodgood, that killer knew chess ( Did u see that game
he played with Bogart Humphrey from Casablnca, The Big Sleep, Maltese
Falcon, etc... I do have lots of movies )... How many did u kill so
far ? -I do like the Polish, it's still unexplored b4, it was named by
Reti when he was at a local Zoo in the 20's when he was playing a
tournament and took some time off... Dude, I know so much chess and
chess trivia, u guys have no idea at all, but I dont boast about it...
Anyway...
Did u know at the 97 championship I had no red blood cells in my
blood, very little, u can even ask the host of the tournament and my
doctor, dude, I only ate once a day, in the evening we went to
Wendy's... AND STILL I COULD HAVE DRAWN ALL OF THEM... and the
Ippolito game I RESIGNED AFTER 20THE MOVE, that';s a mistake there...
Back then I could not eat, besides I had many other reasons to loose
the games, I was winning against Shliperman, but I lost 2 pieces in
one move, on 22nd move if I remember correctly, all I had to do is
move the knight... 7 other games I blew without much thinking... then
the last game with Charles Gelman, I had the chance to draw, but I did
not, heck, well, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST ONE DRAW, but I wanted
it that way. Anyway, I have nothing to proove, later, not too long, I
did play under a different name and have great results and I know I am
a fine player. A name nobody knows.
Also let me assure you, I did not cheat, never did, never will, I was
myself surpirsed at this 2399 rating, All the games given for rating
were real and official and on the level, probably they were marked as
the tournament games by USCF, however mostly they were match plays.
So may be that's why this huge rating? Because they were rated as
tournaments, not match and I did not have established rating at that
time... I AM STILL SHOCKED, and I was even more surpirsed when they
wanted me to go to the 97 junior championship, wow !!! Not my
mistakes... Anyway, look at you, what u do to your kids and your
women, look how you treat them over the years, that's a crime and a
crime against God, remember that, nowhere in the Bible or your Jewish
Bible it says to do what u r doing... And I am a scholar on world's
religions, I know them all...
If u have that story about me on the net all the time, at lest you
could add to it that I did everything WITH GOOD INTENTIONS and that I
am at least a 2200 player, I KNOW I AM MORE... ( especially in match
play and the Yugoslavian and world champ in correspondence play,
undefeated in many games, I dont play much anymore, got to get my
higher degree soon ) LET ME ASSURE YOU AND ALL THE USCF PEOPLE, I DID
EVERYTHING LEGALLY AND ON THE LEVEL and to this day I am mad they took
my advanced 2100 rating away, that's at least what I deserve. But 2100
is nothing to me... I know I play fine chess from a to z.
I am the ambassador to the chess world, I hope some day to have this
game on tv and I do hope chess and checkers will be here forever.
p.s. I do have another checkers version I invented, played on a 6x6
board, mini checkers, I am working on a computer program for that!
Adios and I hope you find true love dude, not all those women u r
banging, ( I heard ) r u a happy man, really ??? I wish u change... Go
back to the one who loves u the most, if u knew what that means
anyway...
Anyway, u better apologize to the world and to all about me being a
fraud and ordering some gay or whatever dirty magazines u r talking
about... dude, u have so many enemies, u dont know where to start
from, 1950 until now... check your records, I;m sure u keep all your
crap! So, go after them, not poor ol' folks like me !!!
Lupco
what else to say, U probably will not get it after all... Or/amd
people like u !!! Pity and shame on you... ( for not being more
understanding...)
Ah well, life is too short for fighting, remember that song...

For those of you who do not know or who have forgotten who Ljupco
Steriev is, he somehow falsified his way into the 1997 US Closed
Junior Championship, a tournament which required a minimum rating of
at least 2300.
Once the tournament started, everybody realized that not only was he
not a 2300 player, but he was not even a 1300 player.

Sammy,
Lupco emailed me with following lines, in 5 different languages:
dont reply to me or him, just read this:
Eso era un email privado!!!
C'était un email privé!!!
Das war ein privates email!!!
Aquele era um email confidencial!!!
Eso era un email privado!!!
meaning: THAT WAS A PRIVATE EMAIL;
so dont use his letters to you like you did before and dont change
those statements already posted on the internet, let be like it is.
You should take it out, you nevere had the permission in the first
place, you may get sued for that, remember well.
YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM HIM TO POST ANY OF HIS EMAILS AND SAME
FROM ME NOW WITH THIS EMAIL ANYWHERE, INCLUDING REC.GAMES OR ANY
PUBLIC CHAT LINES.
he said something about your games...
as for your games, you won one, but the rest are not that good with
g4, you are using an element of surprise on patzeres...
As for Lupco being very sick in 97, We do remember he was, you can ask
Garret Scott, he knocked on his door in the morning ( or called, I
dont know)many times and called him to eat, but he never did, just
said politely:
"thank you, I am not hungry"
He probably ate once a day, some cookies, I heard... bad food,
But I am sure and he is glad and proud he played with the best in 97,
but I am sure he had many reasons not to play there, he was happy in
the beginning to play with the best, but later he did say he did not
want to go there nor to play anybody beginner or a GM, never said why,
I guess there are too many reasons... I dont really care, that was
long time ago.
Just relaying what he forgot to write and adding some personal
statements, he is studying at some university, I guess, abroad.
Sincerely; Goran Stojanovski ( distant cousin )
Take some rest from attacking others with pure garbage, write more
about your sick life, so I heard... Better yet, write about values and
morals ( if you know what that is)
ONCE AGAIN, ALL THE EMAILS ARE ONLY FOR YOU TO READ AND ERASE. PRIVATE
!
He only wrote you because somebody told him he harrassed you sexually,
YOU ARE REALLY PERVERETED, HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE HIM OF THAT?
I hope that was just a rumor and a sick joke from somebody, and NOT
FROM YOU... it better be!

IIRC, the head TD said this guy was maybe 1100 strength, given how he played +
analyzed.
John Fernandez

This is not 1300. This is suicide.
I did not play like this when I was a 1300, or even when I was an 1100 (I
started low, real low, and studied and studied and studied).

No this guy was just downright horrible. To say he lost like a child would be
an insult to children who actually can play this game.

This is the game of a lunatic, a suicidal maniac, or a hopeless drunk.
It is not chess. It should be buried with a stake through its heart
and no last rites.

What supposedly happened was that games among a small group of friends were
accepted by the USCF for rating purposes. This type of play had been
promoted to boost chess but there were not the proper controls.
He wasn't guilty of fraud because he believed in the results himself.
..But he might also have two levels of intelligence ?? It shows up in his
letter.

Huh?
I'm sorry, but a player who's strength is 1100-1300 at best does not have
results that accelerate him up to 2300, at any time control. What was it, G/1
second, and he had White in every game?
Seems very obvious that the games, results and everything going on with them
were a fraud. He repeatedly called the USCF Office to see if his rating was
good enough to get him in, once he got to that level, the results stopped
coming.

He "played" a series of games with a couple of high rated players achieving
phenomenal "results." (If you check an old rating supp, you'll find that he had
a "U" title, which only a couple of very strong GM's had earned in regular
play.) These weren't reported as matches and managed to evade the match
limits. After his performance at the US Junior showed the 2300 rating to be
nonsense, the match results were nullified. His rating was set back to the
1300's, though even that included some suspect results.

Tom saves the day. Steriev is a lying cheating fraud who made up fake
tournaments and passed them as real results to play in the US Junior.

So as not to beat a dead horse:
1. A series of private matches were submitted for rating.
2. These matches contained suspicious outcomes...such as 20-0 scores
(repeatedly) or 19.5-0.5 scores...vs. A-players.
3. The rating dept did not "notice" these as odd results.
4. Rather than enter the data as "matches" (which would have capped the damage
at 200 pts per year...thus making the 1350 a 1550 and we never would have heard
his name again)....
..they entered them as Swiss results..thus, no limit.
5. This went on for a period of months....until his rating was 2200+, at which
time he started appearing on the top 50 lists...from which the invitation
nominees are drawn.
6. He appeared on a couple of top 50 lists prior to invitiation. New players
appear on these lists from time to time. Not every name is well-known to the
office. The name doesn't seem suspicious -- i.e., new player from overseas,
etc.
7. He was calling the rating clerk repeatedly...asking when/how close he was to
getting an invite. Frequent calling made him seem "familiar" or "more
legitimate."
8. The national events dept (i.e., ME) relied on the data supplied by the
ratings dept...to generate the invitational lists.
Ordinarily, one would not generate a full history because it takes a lot of
TIME to do so (about an hour's worth of data compiling...per person...because
systems are SLOW). Data in the supplements ought to be enough so long as the
ratings dept is doing quality control. We do trust the ratings that the
ratings dept generates...for all other persons.
We issued him an invitation.
9. He accepted. (Ironically, he was going to withdraw at a very late date but
then reconsidered after contact by the office -- go figure)
10. He played badly...and THEN it was discovered that 20-0 matches were being
rated as Swisses.
11. Reaction inside the office was mixed...the view was aired that "the ratings
clerks are too busy -- they should not have to notice 20-0 matches as
suspicious."
Let's just say that I disagree with the notion that if your dept is charged
with producing data (ratings data)..that somehow that dept should not also be
charged with quality control tasks. The two go together.
12. I wrote a short blurb for CL explaining the reasons for the invite and the
quality control issues. My dept invited him and I take responsibility for
that...but I also assert that "trusting" the data output of the ratings dept is
and was reasonable.
13. The ED wanted to force an ethics issue against him and the other "players"
in his matches...but my personal view was that there was sufficient mitigating
circumstances (i.e., reports were submitted as matches -- it wasn't the
player's fault if they were misrated as Swisses or not rejected as they should
have been by the ratings dept...and it is probably unrealistic to expect such a
player to be aware that the office is making a calculation error if his rating
goes up more than it "should"...etc. How many players would tell the office
"hey, my rating is too high...did you guys screw up?" Plus, what naive player
(he is naive, yes?) is realistically going to turn down an invite?).... that
such a case would not fly.
14. The player's rating was reset to 1350 or so.
That's about it.

Well, to be fair, the time interval was a period of months...and after his
playing level was "discovered" he sure wasn't going to have any more matches
rated as Swisses ....

It seems to me the last thing a player would want--a self-assessed lousy one
but with a grossly inflated rating--would be to be found out by having to
play *real* chess games against high rated players in public.
He *wanted* to enter and did. Was he getting an all-expense paid trip?
There has to have been some other motivation if he just expected
humiliation. I think he "believed" his rating number.

It's hard to imagine he believed he was a 2399 (1 point from Senior Master)
player. Of the 6 games of his that appear in the ChessBase Mega 2001 Database,
he gets humiliatingly crushed in all 6 of them. He makes many moves that
deserve ?? in all of his games. At best, he's 1300.
There's no way, if he had any knowledge of ratings, that he believed he was
almost 2400 strength. It's just impossible.
As far as people getting high ratings then getting humiliated in other events,
one only needs to look at Alexandru Crisan's absurd performance in the Vidmar
Memorial.
He obviously wanted to play in the US Junior in 1997, and cheated to get into
it, was humiliated, and made the issue worse by claiming that he was wronged.
Sorry, it doesn't fly. He knew very well what he was doing. The only other
explanation is that a parent of his set this up, however, for him to not know
what was going on would probably mean he's not legally able to take care of
himself.

There's no real explanation....there's no motive. Self-deception is as good
as any.

Of course there was a motive. He wanted to play in a prestige event.
Fortunately now he will not have to revert to such fraudulent tactics.. a
simple sex change operation should get him into the US Championship.

Someone was kind enough to let me know that if I was female, I would have
qualified for the tournament via the US Open. Yay.
Maybe Atalik + Ehlvest's sex change idea isn't so bad after all.

I decided to write in person, not somebody else in my name, that is
not professional, ah well, it depands on the situation...Probably some
people wrote you garbage (bigbull69?) about me that is not true, I
dont know, I dont bother anymore nor do I read crap... Got many more
important things on my mind.
You do not have the permission to post this anywhere or to give it to
anybody, you never had the permission to post that statement I made
back in 4/99, I wrote it in haste, many things I did not even say.
forgot to write and countless many other reasons and things I forgot
to mention... Also I am sure there were some grammar and spelling
mistakes, you should have corrected them ( if you knew how... )
I REALLY HATE WRITING YOU, BUT I MUST DEFAND MYSELF... HAVE THIS NOW
AND FOREVER IN CASE YOU WRITE CRAP ABOUT ME. AND I DONT READ YOUR SITE

For those of you who do not know or who have forgotten who Ljupco
Steriev is, he somehow falsified his way into the 1997 US Closed
Junior Championship, a tournament which required a minimum rating of
at least 2300.
Once the tournament started, everybody realized that not only was he
not a 2300 player, but he was not even a 1300 player.

What supposedly happened was that games among a small group of friends
were
accepted by the USCF for rating purposes. This type of play had been
promoted to boost chess but there were not the proper controls.
He wasn't guilty of fraud because he believed in the results himself.
..But he might also have two levels of intelligence ?? It shows up in
his
letter.

This is not 1300. This is suicide.
I did not play like this when I was a 1300, or even when I was an 1100
(I
started low, real low, and studied and studied and studied).

This is the game of a lunatic, a suicidal maniac, or a hopeless drunk.
It is not chess. It should be buried with a stake through its heart
and no last rites.

Internet a 9 move fake game where I supposedly get checkmated as
white.
At least two things about this game will tell anybody who knows me
that the game is fake. However, I will not say what those two things
are because then Steriev will post a corrected fake game.
I also will not tell you where he has posted it for fear that it will
wind up inadvertantly in somebody's database.

HERE IS PART OF HIS STATEMENT IN HIS OWN WORDS
[Event "Virginia Open Championship"]
[Site "Hampton VA (USA)"]
[Date "1958.??.??"]
"I remember the tournament well. I was 13 years old at the time. I was
given a bye in the first round and then lost all my games. It was the
only tournament in my life where I lost every game."
The tournament was won by Stuart Margulies of New York, who defeated
Eliot Hearst in an exciting game. I remember that Hearst took a full
one hour to play one move in that game.
Margulies later wrote the book "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess".

Of course. That is obvious. Who else would write such crazy messages?
Also, that is the fake game I told you about earlier. I just hope it
does not wind up in somebody's database.
Conversely, I hope that all my future opponents study that supposed
game just before they play me.

Correction, I am his long time friend, he does not post here.
YOU CAN ASSUME ANYTHING YOU WANT, THIS IS YOUR RIGHT.
I dont think he has account here. There is no need anyway.
Mr. Fernandez, however I was asked by him to post this, also
I added something of mine own as well. Also you can do the IP
investigation and compare, not the same. I only use one computer.
If it was him, why would he then not do it himself?
I mean he wrote to Slan few times? Did he or not? He did sign his
name, did he or did he not?
And all those emails were for Mr. Sloan, right?
And people can read it, also his cousin wrote you guys,
I am not his cousin or do I have any relations to Mr. Stojanovski Igor,
As for Sam posting private emails and you people derive conclusions? WHy?
So far you did not derive anything, only made a mess out of things,
none of those were public statements,,
take into considerations errors and certain lines out of context, written
in haste as well, but written good, never intended to be made public.
Also possible mistakes in grammer and line structures and things that
may or may not make sense.
So from those statements you started chats about him and his rating?
Gosh you are good Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Enric Johnson Mr./Mrs.Whoever Else
and of course Mr. Slaon.
Did you ever think USCF disrespected him and whoever by taking
his 2100 rating away, did you know his other rating is well over 2200?
A name you will never know, yes, under a different name he did play.
Also why do you post only one stupid game that ended in 11 moves,
and it was actually 20 moves? You know there are over 500 games he
played, why dont you post those? There are also wins against super
players as well. You can download some of them for his chess/checkers sites.
Just know, I can write 10 more pages here, but do you deserve it,
will you believe it ? I doubt it...
So the next time you write about him, write about your mistakes,
because Steriev did not make one. He is proud he is a fine player
and he is proud of his computer chess/checkers program, his chess
struggles and being the ambassador to the chess world. Well at
least he tries to make chess popular. He is not ashamed of anything,
everything he did was 1000% right and correct with best intentions in mind.
Mr. Fernandez, guys...
Dont ask me anything, just ask yourselfs who you are really and
why do you post and read private emails intended for Sam ONLY ?!!
And why dont you never say anything to him about respecting that?
He thought Sam Slaon will respect that, obviously Sloan did not
and only confused himself and others and all the issues...
I will only say this once, I am not going to comment on your BS,
one thing is clear, he did play and win and get true rating,
but if USCF rated them as Swisses, well that is their fault, he did
play matches though, so that's how it was supposed to be rated. He
did specify that.
