Sorry, but you are mistaken. Paul Truong has never won a national
championship of any kind in the US. Indeed, other than blitz
tournaments at the Polgar Chess Club, he has played very little.
Almost all of his tournament victories were on the Internet on US
Chess Live where he was ultimately suspended for cheating.
http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlTnmtHst.php?12123950
My information is that Paul Truong has been suspended or banned for
cheating on all the major Internet Chess Servers, including ICC, WCN
and US Chess Live. I do not know about FICS or playchess.com .

Again. Asking direct questions is not an attack unless the answers you
give point out inconsistencies.
Why would asking questions of you be an attack?
Why did you pretend to not know who I was?
Why do you think it is proper to put the images you have on your
website?
Why do you think the sexist attitude you have is good for women and
children ?

I do not personally dislike Susan Polgar. Actually, I want to get back
with her again. For me, the idea result of this election would be for
me and her to be elected and Truong defeated. Then, I could meet with
her in closed session where Truong would not be allowed to enter the
room.

I think you may have confused Susan Polgar with her
younger sister, Judith. It was Judith who was considered
the strongest female chess player in the world (and who
had Gary Kasparov in a bit of trouble in one game before
he was caught cheating on camera). There are three
Polgar sisters: Susan, Sophia, and Judith.

Maybe this is another case like that of Ray Keene, where
the only person in the whole world who knows about all the
mysterious "extra" championships is the claimant him/her
self? While I would assume a women's world championship
ought to be known to the whole world, there are sometimes
events which really happened and yet about which there was
never any publicity or published account, or about which the
published account got the key facts wrong.
Take the nearly-an-IM title, for instance; nowhere in the
archives of FIDE will you find any example of this title being
awarded, yet we all now that Phil Innes has it nonetheless.
Or Innes' 2450 rating, which was never published although
verified in Shakespeare's own newsgroup! Heaven knows I
won or tied for first in countless tourneys about which
nothing ever got published, because the events were
unrated and advertized mainly by word of mouth.
But the real issue here is two men apparently fighting it
out over one woman: Susan Polgar. While SS seems to
strongly dislike her, in reality he's just playing "hard to get".
We all can guess why PI wants her: SP's book collection on
the Sicilian Pelikan is unmatched. Now enter "the third man",
Paul Truong, who is said to be unrivaled at internet chess
cheating. Naturally, PI is envious, but it was SS who once
again revealed his strong desire for the girl by lashing out
at the newcomer.
I have a suggestion: why doesn't someone just ask Ms.
Polgar and Mr. Truong to name the events in which they won
national or women's championships"? You never know, they
might surprise us all. (I won one of these back in 1957, but
it was later thrown out when they discovered I was wearing
a wig.)

O no! That word 'claim', which when added to 'big-time' makes what an
ordinarily modest bloke does for a living into a new outrage!
Maybe I should start to collect Sam Sloan jokes? Unfortunately they are not
on this model:
What time is it? - You mean, now?
Which is merely daft and obvious evasion. They are more on the scandal
seeking exaggeration-kind.

Sam Sloan, entering his 60's after being out in the cold for a long time,
has become more than a tad paranoid!
a) The PREVIOUS month Rob Mitchell spent substantial amount of time with
Louis Blair [imagine!] defending Sloan's work
b) when the SUBJECT changed to another of Sloan's activities - this is
called 'an attack'.
Sloan has also pulled the same shit with me, suggesting that just because we
publish USCF board-aspirants that we endorse the same people. When he /ran
away/ from the very same interview questions put to them.
If this is really not hysterical paranoia, what else is it, other than
dementia or just plain lying?
> eventually force me to let you back into my group.
The only reason I stay in your group is to observe the more egregious lies -
and also note who supports them, and if they ever address the chess public?
The latest / taboo / subject on your group was the question of what benefits
scholastic players, when Sloan criticised Polgar for saying 12 hours a day
at chess is too long, no one spoke about the children's welfare.
Instead they spoke about who owned the tournament, and how much all this
che$$ was worth to USCF.

Sloan liberally smears others in his odd fashion. Rather than directly
accuse he will imply. Rather than answer questions he will ignore them
and attempt to destroy the questioner. Sloan is a symptom of all that
is wrong with the USCF. He is the canker sore that calls to witness
the world of the diseased body politic of US chess. The problem is;
even if chess is healed it will not make Sloan go away.. He remains
the typhoid y of chess.

The Susan Polgar National Open for Girls had 119 players.
http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?200702181821.0-13398051
This seems to be her most successful event to date.
However, she was not the sponsor of the event. The event was sponsored
by "Paper Clip Pairings" what ever that is. The director was Victor
Flores.
Susan Polgar is easily the most tireless self promoter in the world of
chess.
Go to the MSA, hit "Look up a Tournament" and type in "Polgar"
http://www.uschess.org/msa/TnmtLst.php
You will find 297 tournaments named SUSAN POLGAR THIS or THAT.
However, few of them have more than 30 players.

Phil,
Nobody is questioning the fact that Paul Truong is a strong chess
player. In spite of the fact that I beat him in a tournament in 1980
when he was a kid, he is a solid master now.
The question is his claim to have won 11 national chess titles. I was
pointing out that he has won no national chess titles in the United
States. There is no record of him winning any national chess titles in
Vietnam before he came to America either.
Similarly, Susan Polgar claims on her website to be a "Winner of 4
Woman's World Championships". We all know that she won the Woman's
World Championship one time, in 1996. She refused to defend her title
and there is no record of her winning any other three world titles.
Since they are running for election, it is to be expected that they
would explain these discrepancies. Unfortunately, until recently,
every time they were asked about these discrepancies on the USCF
Forums, the moderators deleted the questions and usually the entire
threads.

She may be counting the three cycles where she was higher rated than the
champion and refused to play, and was generally regarded as the strongest
player in the world.
Susan Polgar's chess credentials are far beyond attack, as far as I'm
concerned.

Subject: Sam Sloan's McCarthyism!
|
having liberally smeared everyone who might contest his precious seat, mr
slaon now proceeds to smear a player's record. i have seen paul troung play
the twice european junior champion and russian champion too. otb mr truong
would smear mr sloan! and so would i!
but this is of little matter, since earlier today mr slaon has also raised
the question of riage partners, which might give this group a laugh, as
if he, sam sloan, would now like to invigilate what is normally private
matters of partnership - though his interest is only about political
opponents
the same sloan who resists questions about his own rather juvenile interests
to the extent of banning rob mitchell who asked about it
i don't think this is a new low, since what you read here, dear reader, is
just what people will say in public - the private stuff is eye-watering!@
i didn't do too badly against the gent mentioned at top, but paul truong did
better, and i don't need to fake my chess strength to say so, and don't need
to pretend that i see strong play in action from mr troung, against the very
best!
what sam slaon is doing here is to 'question' yet another issue as mccarthy
did, and which he too he is both incompetent to understand, and of course,
to cast doubt upon from other motivation, as the sad senator did himself to
amreican people from - what you think? - paranoia alone, or combined with
not-a-little grandstanding?
