Subject: Ed Labate vs. Ed Trice
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.

I don't know, Sam, it doesn't look that inaccurate. Not that that

It is filled with claims that are almost certainly not true and almost

If the patent truely has expired... the it's open for exploitation:

http://www.inc.com/articles/2000/03/18174.html

Patent expired. After the patent expires, the patent owner has no
further rights, although infringement suits can still be brought for
any infringement that occurred during the patent's in-force period as
long as the suit is filed within the time required by law. An expired
patent remains a valid "prior-art reference" forever.

The problem is Trice doesn't own the patent any more, he lost it by
not paying the maintenance fees which were due three years after he
was first awarded the patent:
http://www.latepatents.net/6481716.htm

I believe Trice is stony broke. If he had any money he wouldn't be
trying to rip off a complete stranger for $6000. The risk involved was
enormous and he could still end up going to prison for it (fingers
crossed).

ATTORNEY AT LAW

which was received and signed for on May 12, 2008. Instead of Ed
Trice retracting all his lies, he continues to provide more counts for
my lawsuit.


Therefore, we have no choice and are proceeding with a Multi-Million
Lawsuit against Ed Trice for libel/defamation. As anyone who has been
involved in a lawsuit know, the first thing each side files are
discoveries and requests for depositions. This is where the 'fun' now
starts. Everything you say in these are considered 'under oath' and
false statement are criminal acts, punishable by fines and jail time.
For example Ed Trice claims that I had 'My 61 Memorable Games'
printed. Our very first question will be for Ed Trice to provide
proof of this statement. Now let's see whose story changes, and whose
story remains the same!!

Additionally, anyone receiving this notice and publishes Ed Trice's
lies, will also be held accountable. I am sick and tired of these
last six months having to deal with this scumbag Trice, who can't seem
to read a damn thing presented to him. I have never, ever dealt with
such a low life in my 53 years. And yes, some of you will be getting
letters as to your communication with Ed Trice. I'm sorry, but I
didn't bring this on, Ed Trice did.

I will admit it, I have only one goal:

To destroy Ed Trice for lying about me, and for taking advantage of a
dying Bobby Fischer!! Bobby Fischer is on his deathbed, and Ed Trice
is claiming he's got Fischer's permission to reprint My 61 Memorable
Games. FOLKS: Is there a lower LOWLIFE in the chess community than
Ed Trice???

It is obvious that both "Victor Rose" and "Scarlet Rose" (father-
daughter?) are fake personalities created by Ed Trice, especially
since she often writes about how "intelligent" he is.

Here is one quote from a posting by "Scarlet Rose":

"I do not mean to say Ed wasn=92t tempted to come down to everyone
else=92s level.. Cause he is only human.. And he did at times.. That is
when I started chatting more with him.. Seeing his side of the playing
field.. And I learned that I was one lucky gal to have pushed the
feelings aside that were openly stated throughout the site and
actually get to know who is he rather than cast judgment on him for
his type written words.. I am glad to call him a great friend. I have
learned he has a wonderful sense of humor, is very intelligent and
very real."

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sam, I'm 53 years old...I've been selling chess books since 1979, and

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.
